Polished off a couple more photos

These were all taken in Seattle (obvious isn't it..), over last Christmas. I've a few more of the city I'll be working on intermittently, and of the trip to Phoenix/Grand Canyon that I went on right after x-mas.

This first pic is a favorite, due to the effect of dragging the shutter while moving the camera. So there isn't any fancy photoshoping involved, it was all done in camera.




The next three here are of Puget Sound, taken just north of the city, near Shoreline.






I could be remembering the name wrong, but I think this is Green Lake.

some random pics

thought i'd just post up a couple that i've recently looked at. Took them at various times in the past year(ish).

CU in december

here's a couple that i snapped quick this last week. I know it's been a while since updating, and i have a huge back-log of pictures to work on and post (including my trip to Peru this last summer). But this is it for now. I'm heading out of town for 6 weeks tomorrow, so I'l be away from my library of photos, so don't expect much before then.

Some More

This first one was a nice exposure taken during a sunrise sometime early last spring. It was the morning of a final at school (which explains why I was awake at that time of the day, as I'd been up all night studying...). I like the way it borders on a HDR photo, but it was done with just one exposure (no compositing).

The other 3 photo's were taken this past spring when a few friends and myself went out hunting (with our dSLR's mind) for sandhill cranes. We found a really sweet spot down near Ft. Kearney, NE for the sunset picture.

More Taiwan

Long Time Since

it's been a good long time since I've updated pictures here. I've continued to take some for the most part, I just haven't been getting them up here. I have a lot of new material to post once I've got time (like my trip to Peru for starters...). But that's getting ahead of myself, as I haven't worked with any of those photo's yet.

so i'll get a few more up of taiwan, and some other random ones. and then soon, I'll get the photos from Peru up here.

cheers,

New 35L Lens

so i picked up a new lens. It's a (prime) Canon 35mm 1.4L, and although i didn't have long to play, i did get a chance to try it out. I'm quite impressed with it. Here's a couple shots from it.

Taiwan Five

get 'em while they're hot.

Taiwan Four

some more

Taiwan Three

i'll be putting up some more pictures from Taiwan now. These were shot in Tainan City.

Taiwan Two

here's 4,5, and 6.

Taiwan One

So i ventured all the way to Taiwan for spring break. i ended up taking a ton of pictures (you really don't want to know how many). which means i've ample supply of material to work on and get posted. so here's the first few. more to follow.

Statues on the Winnebago Res.

here's a few shots of some really cool statues on the Winnebago Reservation in Eastern NE.

A couple of bird shots

i was up about near the Omaha and Winnebago reservations when we saw a couple of bald eagles. luckily for me, i had my telephoto lens, and was able to take a few shots as it flew around. i'm not usually much into nature photography, but after looking at the eagle in flight, i might try my hand at it again.

bella

quite the looker, this Duc. i'd throw a leg over it any time.
