Long times

It's been a long time since I posted anything which is why I show a very very old image here. My absence was triggered by one of the worst perfect storms of hard work at my science job with a three-year on-site review and associated proposal to prepare. That took a few years out of my life.

This image was taken July 21 of 2007 and developed in Lightroom 4.1 RC2. As I am sure is true for many photographers, I have many images lurking in my library that I have never shown off before nor adequately processed. This image was taken when I was getting some instructions on large format camera use from a friend. I also took along a DSLR which is what I used to take the above image. Both types of camera have their use and enforce very different styles of picture taking. The 4x5 large format camera that we used that day has far better technical quality when used correctly than the old 6MP D50 I used for the above picture but what matters really of course is the image itself. I like the lines and angles in this image.

Blast from the past

Actually only a year ago or so. This is a panorama taken at sunset at Roxborough State Park. It had just snowed like mad the days before. The same storm I think that produced these images. I went on an evening hike in Roxborough with my daughter and we had a blast. The below images were created during that outing a year ago. Can't believe I never posted these. Lovely yellow glow in the sky I think. These images have to be experienced large, which can be done by clicking on them and viewing them in the lightbox.

Sunset in Roxborough state park

I should have been there a little earlier but still nice. The link goes to the flickr page.
