Capitol Building in Nashville
Yes, I know it’s been a really long time since I’ve posted last. I’m going to continue to focus on images here in this blog. I’ve also installed a Shadowbox plugin that’ll make the image show up a bit better. Just click below on the image and a lightbox effect will be invoked. This is [...]
Puttin’ on the Ritz!
While on the HDR workshop with Trey Ratcliff in Austin, TX, in mid-January, we did a [cold] photowalk the first night. This image is a 5-image RAW HDR. First, tonemapped in Photomatix, then the rest of the processing was done in Photoshop. I used Topaz Adjust 4 to help mask in the brick details. First [...]
HDR Images of the Driskill Hotel in Austin, TX
Ok, so I’m behind in posting. It’s been an incredibly busy couple of months. I needed a break from work stuff, so thought I’d process a couple images from my HDR (high dynamic range) workshop with Trey Ratcliff in Austin, TX in early January 2010. The workshop was held in the amazing Driskill Hotel. The [...]

The owner of the Deli Mexicana, Jonathan Magallanes, talks about his restaurant and what makes it unique — primarily fresh food selected daily.

Anyway, back in Iowa over Thanksgiving, we traveled to see the Bridges of Madison County. These are perfect for using HDR photography. The [...]

HDR Images at Collierville’s Square
It was a great morning to walk around the Collierville Square (Collierville, TN) and take a few HDR images. The first one below is of the little cabin on the square. It is all decked out for Christmas. We’ll have to go one night to see the lights on. You can see more images from [...]
Car on a Boat
What you say? A car on a boat? Actually, the boat is the Freedom of the Seas and the car was on the Promenade. It’s a RAW image that I did a pseudo HDR processing by taking into Photomatix and tone mapped. It really brought out the shadow detail. The processing also brought out the [...]
Brevard County Sheriff’s Boat
As we were leaving Port Canaveral during our June 2009 cruise, I was standing out on the balcony (with camera, of course) and saw an interesting view of the Brevard County Sheriff’s boat. I won’t give all the details here, other than to say it was shot in RAW, then brought into Photoshop, used the [...]
