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.
Up Coming Trip: In August we are looking at shorter trip to
Northern Michigan where the plan is to do a little IR photography in the
Traverses City area which is always a fun area to visit as well as photograph.
Past Trip: With the Sedona trip complete, there is a lot of
processing work to be completed as I shot well over 3,000 images and just
sorting them is a challenge. However they are all geo-tagged which has
been an interesting project in self and one I would highly recommend.
Additionally I have started a second book based upon our Sedona visit
around finding the Vortex sites and its coming along rather well just need to
find more time to complete it.
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
