Recent Trip: Spent a week in Den Haag and while the weather
was rainy most of the time and business meeting kept me hopping, did find a few
moments before departing to take a walk about in the Queens gardens which where
next to the hotel and snap few pictures for HDR processing.
Update: The Traverses City trip went well and was able to
find and shoot a number of pictures of the "Hippie Tree" located on the grounds
of the former Asylum and have even stated work on a coffee table book which will
be published via Blurb.
Site Updates: Check out the new addition of the
Coppermine application for the gallery images as I will be working on moving
all my current images from Light Room to Coppermine over time to allow for
quicker posting even from the field as well as the ability to allow for viewers
to post comments.
San Francisco California ...
On a recent trip to
San Francisco California an
opportunity presented itself for a quick photo safari of sorts with whirl wind
visits to Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate Bridge (via water) and of course the
Trolley. The city presented so many options to capture images and this is only a
small body of work which will be added to as time permits. All of the images where captured in HDR (High Dynamic
Range) and most of the B&W in near infrared (around 720 nm) HDR.
Of particular enjoyment was the Coke (tm) machine
in the guards office located on
Alcatraz Island as the HDR capture has brought out the deep
details of the dirt and grit on the walls and floor. The other "Inside the
Big House" which was shot over the heads of numerous tourists to create a look
of emptiness. Again it too was in HDR and converted to B&W with flare
added Photoshop (tm). Click on each
image for a larger view.
