Line of Sight.
The bright white snow sandwiched between
the dark blue of the water and brown brush
draws the eye down the river to the bend.
This was taken as the sun was going down at
6:12 on 3/25.
f11, 1/125, ISO 100, 53mm-manual setting.
Improve on Nature-not possible.
Improve on photographing-very possible.
Also the Line of Sight is visible with the red scoria
road winding up the hills. 3/2 at 4:53 prior to
"springing ahead" with the clock.
f13,1/250, ISO 160, 110mm-manual setting.
Overall enhanced picture. I lightened the entire
picture bringing out detail and warming the
shot. I intentionally left the road sign in as it
is exactly what the road looked like.
Another picture as the day was drawing to a
close with the sun to the right of the peak.
This was taken on 3/13 at 5:06.
f9, 1/200, ISO 100, 95mm-manual setting.
I lightened only the shadows of the land and
left the sky alone. I also fixed a spot in the sky
that was caused by dirt (?) on my lens.
I much prefer to fix photos by manually changing
the settings on the camera rather than by manipulating
the finished product.
Panoramic shot. My camera does not have the
panorama option so this was 7 separate pictures
taken of a view of about 150 degrees. Camera was
on a tripod to keep it as even as possible. I stitched
it together with Autostitch. Taken at 4:56 on 3/25.
f14, 1/160, ISO125, 38mm-manual setting.
Panorama 2. This was taken during the "golden
hour" at 5:54 on 3/13. When I got to the park there
was not a cloud in the sky but quickly turned dark
and ominous...but a nice contrast to the landscape.
This was 3 or 4 pictures stitched together on Auto-
stitch. It seems the fewer the individual pictures
being stitched together the more vertical area fits
together. f9, 1/125, ISO160, 38mm-manual setting.
Texture...big time!! This was taken after the sun
set at 6:25 on 3/14.
f7.1, 1/250, ISO 160, 28mm-manual setting.
Another texture shot. The area where the
fossil is, is very smooth with ridges as opposed
to the roughness of the remainder of the rock.
Photo was taken on 2/3 at 9:47.
f10, 1/60, ISO 400, 127mm-manual setting.
Varied texture of the pinecones, pine needles,
and snow. This shot was taken on 3/23 at 11:48
in the shade.
f14, 1/40, ISO 100, 75mm-manual setting.
This rock is about 3 feet tall and has so many
different textures on it. To the left it looks like
a piece of brain coral, on the right there are
ridges surrounding it, the entire right is a mix-
ture of hard rock and sandstone. The weeds
in the front are to give the viewer a hint to the
size of the boulder. I think it would look great
in my yard! Picture was taken on 3/2 at 4:00.
f5, 1/320, ISO 160, 50mm-manual setting.
Part 2-my choice. I liked the 2 sight
lines-the fence as well as the shadow
leading to the old barn with the badlands
in the background. Taken 3/2 at 3:33.
f14, 1/125, ISO160, 75mm-manual setting.
This is a photo taken during the "golden hour"
on 3/2 at 4:10 pre-DST. The repeating
hills show a type of rhythm which leads the eyes
down to the herd of buffalo which splits the land-
scape's foreground and background.
f6.3, 1/320, ISO 160, 125mm-manual setting.
Part 2-my choice. The full moon was taken
on 3/25 at 7:46. The sky was actually a dark
blue, not black, but to get the detail in the moon
my settings caused the sky to darken.
f22, 1/50, ISO 400, 300mm on a tripod-manual.
My choice shows how cold it was
over the weekend-3/24 at 5:16. The
ice continued melting until the sun
went down. One drip was caught
mid flight while the next was just
getting ready to let go.
f13, 1/200, ISO100, 127mm-manual.
