This image was taken last weekend at the West Fork Trail in Sedona. We’re going back today to check out the color before it is gone. I’m only going to shoot abstracts this time using either a very slow shutter speed with one of my zoom lenses or using my Lensbaby. This is my favorite kind of shooting since it requires no tripod but it’s also a hit or miss process. Hope I have something to show tomorrow 🙂

cats, infrared and lensbabies
You don’t actually “walk” a cat. You “follow” a cat. This makes for a lot of very slow moving and sitting while they stalk lizards. The positive is the time it presents for reading or for playing with my camera. I am trying to get inspired to use my Lensbaby more and also shooting more infrared so here is a shot with both implemented.
room with a view
Hyde Memorial State Park, high in the Santa Fe mountains, was hands down my favorite room with a view during our RV trip through New Mexico.
Sedona
West Fork of Oak Creek Canyon trail. A combination of infrared and color images using my old Minolta Dimage 7.
Red Rock Crossing again shot with my old digital.
enjoying fall color
Still trying to catch up. Jpegs are the only images I’ve downloaded so here’s another shot of Cleo and Cloe who truly loved the RV experience 🙂
on the road again
From my archives today with a little help from Photomatix using the single image option. This was my favorite image from our last trip to New Mexico. The woman is Leona of Leona’s Restaurante which is located a few steps from the famous El Santuario de Chimayo. Her wonderful food and location has made her known around the world! We’re not going in that direction on this trip but I always think of her when I think of New Mexico.
elvis sighting
Another HDR shot from Jerome. This time in the Liberty Theater museum with a super wide lens. It’s hard to stop playing with Photomatix 🙂
HDR tutorial links
I gave a presentation on Photomatix software yesterday. Here’s a link to a PDF of links to video tutorials and also the names of two books I recommend on the subject.
Another HDR example. This one is a gift shop in Jerome. I should have taken one more shot which would have revealed the area outside the door more clearly. As it is, it’s too bright so I cropped it off.
a moving sunset
By the word moving, I mean I moved the camera 🙂
