The Bay Bridge at Sunset

So I’ve returned from an 8 day visit to the west coast. It was a great trip, my first to California. We visited sites like San Francisco, Yosemite National Park, Monteray, Big Sur, etc. It’s a beautiful part of the country.

It was tough for me to decide how to start working through the photos, so I decided to start by posting one from each day. So today’s photo was from our first day in San Francisco. I had a different idea for sunset, but my spot was quickly crowded with so many people with camera’s that I decided to head to “Plan B”. This view of the Bay Bridge is actually looking east, but the clouds in the sunset sky were perfect.

Tomorrow, I’ll have a photo of the “other” San Francisco Bridge 🙂

 

Details: This photo consists of a 7 exposure HDR, a separate exposure to smooth out the water, and another exposure to capture the lights on the bridge once it got darker. The techniques used to edit this photo can be found in tutorials at www.sohdr.com

 

 

Sunday Sunset – Panorama

Sunday Sunset - Panorama

Another panorama! Just like the last one, this is a 4 shot panorama (each a 7 exposure HDR). I was at home when I noticed the skies taking shape. Without much time to get to a more interesting spot, I headed to the farm field across from my house 🙂

I was in Nashville for an engagement session Sunday evening 4/29. Once we finished we shooting, I decided to wait around to see if the sunset would be nice….. It was 🙂

Okaloosa Island Fishing Pier, Ft Walton Beach Florida

Back in September I visited Destin, FL to photograph a wedding. I got up early one day and found a pier in nearby Ft Walton Beach.

Approximately 4 hours worth of exposures on a fairly clear night.

Machine Falls, Tullahoma TN

My wife and I recently hiked to Machine Falls. It’s a beautiful hike and the falls are truly amazing. The photos don’t really do the size and scope of this waterfall justice. But, I did what I can 🙂 Hope you enjoy…
