White Pocket: Day three of the adventure

Thursday, October 1, 2009

Ah, so now we’ve come to it.  White Pocket.  The driving force behind this recent trip. After first seeing images of White Pocket I knew I had to go there.  The “brain rocks,” the strange banding, the completely surreal landscape.  How could anyone who has seen images of White Pocket possibly not want to go [...]

The Coyote Buttes Trip Day 2, Part 1: Paw Hole by default

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

Before I get into this post I totally forgot to mention something from first day.  As we made our way into the Paw Hole area to scout we saw a coyote run across the road.  I exclaimed, “Coyote.”  Moments later we saw a huge cow sitting under a tree and I exclaimed, “Cow Yote.” I [...]

The Coyote Buttes Trip Day 1: Prescott to the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

The image you want……

Thursday, June 11, 2009

This is one of those “inspired” posts.  What was it inspired by? RC Concepcion popped up a great artcile, “Why does HDR bring out the best/worst in you as a Photographer?“  Good piece, I enjoyed it.  The comments were pretty interesting.  Pro and Con HDR folks all over the topic. As many readers know, I [...]

My personal HDR setup in the field

Thursday, January 22, 2009

Over the course of my learning process with HDR photography I’ve quickly posted how the HDRs come together on the computer when I’m done shooting.  The post was a little too quick, and glazed over way too much regarding setup and processing, and I’ll re-do the post here in the next week. Initially I was [...]
