Saturday Night

A bit of texture added to an HDR photo of the Singapore Skyline...

Hey, if you have a minute, check out my FAMILY BLOG for some new personal news...

Nirwana Golf Signature Hole

If I were to pick my favorite golf course I have ever played, I think Nirwana would be it...should be called "NirVana"... When you finish the 18 holes, you just don't want to quit...you just wish there were a few more holes to play...

Clarke Quay - Singapore

I think it is the combination of good food, good beer, great atmosphere, and good people watching that makes Clarke Quay the ideal place to hang-out for the day...

Guess Who Loves The Camera?...My Daughter, Kayla

It is pretty nice having a daughter that loves to pose for her Daddy...

Singapore Should Be "The City of Lights"

This is Clarke Quay in Singapore...It has changed over the years, and is now bustling with activity...not that it wasn't before, but with this new enclosure, it is a really cool place to stroll around and watch people. There are loads of great restaurants and clubs...

I guess I am getting old...instead of standing in line to get into one of the hot clubs, I wandered around with my tripod and camera and took photos...what a nerd...

Skywatch Friday - Afternoon at Annapurna Base Camp

Happy Friday Everyone!!

This photo is from the Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal a little more than a year ago...

The Lion Takes A Stroll

It must be nice to be on top of the food chain. There were several zebras, giraff, and various other animals sipping water at a nearby water hole when this lioness got on her feet and started to stroll. ALL the animals took notice and shot off like bullets...what power...

Elephant Crossing

I was in a small boat traveling down the river in Zimbabwe, when we saw a herd of Elephants crossing the river. We were only a few feet away from them...I had mixed emotions about this...I was so excited to get photos that I forgot to be afraid of several wild elephants mere feet away from me...

Cool Photo To Celebrate The Inauguration

This photo is from The Big Picture blog that I talked about a few days ago. It is an AP photo by Sandy Huffaker. I think it is great...

I have increased the size of the photos in my blog...I will try it out, and see how it looks. I really do think photos look better when they are BIG...

I just noticed I will also have to re-do my banner...I will get to that soon enough...it needs a change as well...I am getting tired of that photo...

Rugby Jumps

One of the great things being a Photographer at school is moments like this...

It's also great having an appreciative audience that can enjoy the hard work put in when making pictures...kids always love it.

Skywatch Friday - HDR of Tanah Lot in Bali

Happy Friday!!

On Wednesday, I posted and talked a little about HDR photography. This is another HDR photo, but it is processed a bit differently than the photo I posted on Wednesday. This version is more "illustrative" looking. Many people don't like this kind of look, but I really like it....and when you come down to it, we as photographers have to like our own stuff before we share it with others....right??

One of my favorite HDR photographers, and in my opinion, the king of HDR, is Trey Ratcliff. Check out his work here (or click on his name) if you want to see some good HDR photography...He also has an excellent tutorial on how to post-process HDR photos...

In the meantime, check out all the other bloggers participating in Skywatch Friday, and see their skies from their part of the world...
