All the Pages Are My Days - the first 12 years

I was fortunate to capture a few images demonstrating the dramatic storm clouds that are common in central Kansas in the summer. The first two are from early July, and the last one is from later in the month. Larger versions over at Flickr. The first two were taken north of McPherson. :: This one … Read more
On our way home from a business trip last month we spent a day exploring the desert south west of Blythe, California. We were looking for geodes and other interesting rocks. That, and indulging in our love of roads that barely qualify for the name! The stark beauty of the desert never fails to … Read more
We came up to Kansas City on Saturday to spend time with family and friends. I had the opportunity to take some photos from way up high at the Hyatt Regency hotel and am pretty happy with how they turned out. You can click each image below to see a larger version, or view the … Read more
Went to Mushroom Rock State Park yesterday; hiked around and took a few pictures which I then processed using HDR techniques. The full set is available on Flickr. Last time we were there was before Sheryl got her hip replaced, so she wasn't able to walk out to the southern mushroom rock. No problems yesterday! … Read more
We recently returned from a combination business and pleasure trip that took us out to northern California. As always, my camera traveled with me. It was a great visit, with a wonderful week spent with my colleagues in Palo Alto, followed by the Drupalcon conference in San Francisco and concluding with a very nice stay … Read more
I’m working on a series of HDR photos, one per month, from 2009, and while I was reviewing the May images I ended up with another 5 Paris HDR photos. The first image was taken from our room. The next 3 are various shots from around Paris. The last photo was taken in Giverny, southwest … Read more
For today’s HDR image post, we go back to October 2008. These photos are from Tower Grove Park in St. Louis. The original version reminded me of a painting; the HDR version even more so. Don’t forget, you can click on these images and view a larger version without leaving the site!
A couple of weeks ago I took some photos of some of the local fall scenery, and processed them using HDR techniques. I think they turned out reasonably well, though perhaps slightly over-processed. They certainly do bring a new perspective to photography, one that it’s pretty obvious I’m having fun exploring! These two images were … Read more
Combining two interests, night photography and HDR image processing, I’ve created a new set of images: HDR Night photos! Taken in Salina and Lindsborg, these high dynamic range photos present the world in a new and different light. You can see more of these interesting images by visiting my Flickr HDR at Night set.

Here are few high dynamic range (HDR) images I created earlier today. HDR images display an extended dynamic range and are often created by taking multiple, bracketed, exposures of a subject and then merging them to create the final HDR image. HDR images look different from standard images in ways ranging from the sublime to … Read more
