That one Beautiful Lilly
Lilies all have a shape that wants to be looked at. The one lilly caught my attention so I used Helicon Focus to capture a depth of field with f16 and still make the background out of focus. I combined about 12 separate photos, each with a different point of focus to get the sharp look at all parts of the flower.

Tools of the potter and three dimensional artist make for a neat study in HDR.

More Canyons with Single HDR
I had only taken one image with this photograph but was still able to pull back the highlights that were blown out and also get details in the shadows with Photomatix Pro.

From color to B&W
I first shot this image in color and made a color image which was very interesting. For fun, I tried changing to B&W and like the effect much better. It is nice to have the option of changing ones mind for artistic reasons.

The Photographer
Shooting in the Narrows of Zion National Park can be an interesting experience. With the Canyon wall exceeding 1000 feet in height, the light changes by the minute. I used HDR to balance the highlights and shadows with the single exposure.

Same location - Color Infrared
By shooting IR in jpeg from and setting the color white balance in the camera to match the sun light, one can get these interesting effects. I also had to switch the values in the blue and red channels.

More HDR
Using 5 images at 5 different exposures I was able to open up the details in the church facing North. This is not easy in the middle of Summer. HDR to the rescue.

The Party Truck - Drink but no Drive
This rusty old truck sat in a local city park in Sunnydale, UT. I think a few folks found it was a place to hide and drink beer.

The Party Truck
This old Ford Panel Truck sat rusting in Sunnydale, UT, just out side the entrance to Zion National Park. From the Beer and Pop cans inside, one gets the impression that the truck is now used for parties.

Tone Mapping
Using some junk found on a farm, I did a single photograph and then used the detail enhancer in Photomatix to get the grunge look. ¶ 8:36 AM 0 comments
