Atlas Mine
This was one of a few buildings standing around the Atlas Mine on Yankee Boy Basin Road. Shooting in the middle of the day isn’t ideal but who could pass up this Aspen show! (HDR and Photomatix came to the rescue).

Fall Approaching
An upcoming road trip to Colorado has me thinking about shaking my camera at fall color again. Can’t wait! Here’s an example taken last year at Sedona’s West Fork Trail.

Tree and Marcus Landslide
This composite contains 6 images with one dating back 10 years. The base is a DroidX black and white shot of a dead tree captured last week in front of the Marcus Landslide. I then added the following images: a Flagstone tile from my patio, a field of dried flowers, a field of grasses, a rusty car door and a silhouette of a raven. (The other bird is a PS brush). Lots of blending, several color and tonal adjustments, a couple of filters applied and voila! You either love or hate this stuff. I obviously love it 🙂

Favorite Things
A composite of two of my favorite things. Boulder faces (left) and trees. The tree is a DroidX image I captured the other day on my walk in my neighborhood and the wonderful boulder face is near the Preserve.

Schultz Creek Trail Aspens
This was a challenging scene to capture because the best vantage point was down a steep embankment off Schultz Pass Road. Totally worth the effort, though! Hope the color isn’t too far off. I’ve been transitioning to a new computer for a couple of weeks now and I’m not working on a calibrated monitor.

Drover’s Shack
One of my favorite photo ops at Boyce Thompson Arboretum is the area devoted to the deserts of Australia. It’s filled with Eucalyptus Trees and other flora from that country. To add authenticity, they even built a Drover’s (sheep herders) Shack and a Windmill. There is also an old rusty pickup truck to complete the picture. DroidX photo
