The title is somewhat misleading, but “best of” sounds better than “my most favorite ones” :p

Hands across the water, water, hands across the sky.

(almost) perfect timing; while I did not get any glow from the sun setting, at least the sky maintains some great blues before fading to black.

The lights outlining the buildings saved me like I said, since there was no moon.

It takes just the right picture to pull off these ‘grunge’ HDR’s. I’m still not quite sure what makes or breaks them but only 1/20 images fit perfectly, I’m sure glad it was these of Nubble!!

Handheld walking blur, sweeet.

Not even sure if i composed this shot, just pointed the camera skyward as low as the tri-pod would go!

Ha! I should have taken a close up of the blackboard to see what was written.

I should post a thumbnail of all the pics in any given post so that you can see the differences between the HDR’s and the normal exposures. Only problem is, I don’t know if Bridge lets you do that!

I think it would have been epic to have been able to explore some of these old buildings but I do not know if that would have even been possible. I have a feeling that some aren’t fit to explore! A shame really.

One of the challenging aspects of dealing with HDR’s is the clouds.

They tend to move over the course of bracketing your exposures! So of they look a little funky in some of the shots, that is why. In fact in one of the shots (previous post) , it was TOO distracting and I just used the best single exposure for the sky and the rest of the shot was the HDR.

Not sure if this building is the offices of the Catholic church or maybe where the priest lives? Another building altogether maybe used for church stuff :-D Very pretty though whatever it is used for!

Nice view of downtown Springfield from the Miller Arts Center

VACATION 2010! VT & ME

Prior to leaving Austin we had some showers blow through the airport and on the way out on our way to Dallas there was some residual moisture in the air as evidenced by this rainbow. The rainbow was actually larger and more vivid but it took me a minute or so to bust out my camera! Note to self: be sure to have the camera in my lap when I have a window seat!!

Black River pictures. This time around I wanted to hit the falls from the other side of the river, not just from the path on Clinton St. Of course I took the HARD way to get there, clinging to the side of the steep bank. Thankfully I did not slip or tear myself up too bad. On the way out I found a much easier path and a road that would have taken me there! Ahhh the ‘ol hindsight.
