Sundog

Yesterday I had to go back to town in the late afternoon and on my way I saw this sundog.  Of course I had my Rebel along, so I pulled over and took a shot, but I found that the sundog barely showed up at all so I took some HDR shots instead.  After processing them I found that the sundog stood out much more.

Rustic Charm

I went to town for a few things this morning and on my way back, the yellow tamarack in this scene  caught my eye.  Thankfully I had my Rebel with  me, so I got a few shots of  it right out the window of the Jeep.  I also took some hand-held HDR shots, but when I processed them, I found I liked the originals better.  I did tweak the colors a bit, though.

A Walk In The Woods

I went for a walk in the woods on Sunday afternoon.  I haven’t been doing this lately because of the bear and deer hunters, but no one was around on Sunday, so I decided to chance it.  I wasn’t worried about running into any hunters, I was more concerned with running into a bear.  Of course I didn’t and I got a few nice shots.  As I was walking I realized that I’ve never taken fall pics of that old ladder, only winter and summer pics.  Now all I need is spring pics and I can post it in all 4 seasons.

I can’t seem to walk past this old tractor without taking a picture of it, so here it is…again.

HDR Saturday…Again

I went out this past Saturday and took some HDR shots of the wetlands and Lake Oneonta.  I like the way the tamaracks turn yellow in the fall.  They really stand out from the evergreens this time of year.  It was a gray, dreary day, but the HDR really brought out the definition in the clouds and, well, everything else I guess too.

October Barn

I went out last Sunday after church and took some HDR shots of one of my favorite barns.  The barn belongs to the Tomasczewski family and I go out there every now and then to photograph it.  I’ve taken fall shots of it before, but never in HDR, so that’s what I did on Sunday.

HDR Saturday

Last Saturday I went to a few spots and took some HDR shots.  I really like the way they turned out, and I decided to post the originals along with the HDR’s for comparison.

Peaceful Morning

I took this shot from Goullette Park on Lake Antoine this morning on my way to work.  I wish I could have shot this with my Rebel because it would have turned out so much better, but the Rebel is just too much camera to haul around to work and back every day, so I have to settle for the Powershot.  Oh well, I’m happy I got to see this, because it was beautiful and really made my day.
