Cape Cod || Canon EOS 10D/12.0-24.0 mm | 1/45 | f/11 | ISO 100 | Tripod

This is from our trip to Boston. Lisa and I rented a car for the day to drive down to Cape Cod and it was quite a day trip. The sky was murky and didn’t make for a great color photo, but after converting to sepia tones, boosting the contrast, and adding a vignette it turned out to be a nice image. I submitted this one also in this month’s camera club competition and took first place in the open advanced division.

Post processing done in Adobe Lightroom.

Metate Arch || Canon EOS 10D/12.0-24.0 mm | 1/125 | f/11 | ISO 100 | Tripod

This is a shot from a February trip to Bryce Canyon. One of the days we went on a bit of a drive to see Devil’s Garden in Grand Staircase Escalante State Park, we got there just before sunset. I took several exposures and used HDR and other post processing to give a more accurate picture of what it looked like when I was there.

I entered this in the Wasatch Camera Club competition in the assigned category “Foreground Framing”. It took first place, and Best in Show award (a first for me). I’m pleased the way it turned out. Another image I entered in the open category also took first place, I’ll post it another day.

Snowy Bryce || Canon EOS 10D/28.0-135.0 mm | 1/3s | f/11 | ISO 100 | Tripod

Two years ago I was at Bryce National Park, the day we came home, it snowed. It was cold, but neat seeing these usually warm places dusted with snow.
