Denver Zoo

Mix of random shots taken at the Denver Zoo.

Yosemite Parte Dois

Decided to post some additional photos of Yosemite that were taken this summer. I corrected some color etc on most of them, I need a Polarizing filter bad, would help a lot in the sun. This was a family trip so there weren't as many early/late day shooting opportunities. I can always go back though. The photo of the Jeffery Pine (dead tree on its side) was added earlier, but I like this version better. As previously mentioned Ansel Adams made the tree famous when it was alive, but was first photographed by Carleton Watkins back in 1867. Ansel Adams gallery

SJC Train station

Here is a shot a took months ago, thought it turned out well with some minor processing.

Yosemite

Took a ton of photos while on our trip to Yosemite, some that I am pretty pleased with. The pictures below is not what I wanted, there were kids walking all over the shot and made it difficult to shoot, but I did what I could. The shots are at the top of Sentinel Dome looking away from the main Yosemite valley, (south east perhaps?) The tree is the famous Jeffery Pine that Ansel Adams made famous but was first photographed by Carleton Watkins back in 1867.

SLC Temple and Rock Canyon & Stream

Last month while in UT for the Wasatch Back relay race from Logan to Park City, I had a chance to take a variety of photos. The Salt Lake City temple, no doubt has been photographed hundreds of thousands of times, probably millions, but with a clear day and a decent camera I was determined to at least take some for myself that where print and display worthy, hopefully some of these will be on our walls in a short time. We also hiked Rock Canyon, something we never though of doing while living in UT, but coming back as a visitor, random things are entertaining and enjoyable, things that would have been boring as a student as some may think.

Sister's Family Photos

A few weeks ago my sister wanted me to take some family shots with their new baby, these are some of my favorites. I messed around with some photoshop processing on some, not too fancy it was very quick.
