Water Like Silk

8 08 2010

This was my first attempt at HDR with a super long exposure during the day to create the silk-like water effect. Right in back of where I am standing is about a thousand foot drop off the real falls. That picture to follow…





An Earthly Event That Can Be Seen From Space

24 07 2010

They say that the South African Sardine Run is such a massive event that it can be viewed from space. Well, while at the Sardine Run this year, I pointed my camera in the other direction. Apparently the sky is also so clear that you can see space from the Sardine Run!

South Africa Serendipity

Took a day off of diving to explore the area around Mbotyi. The views are pretty spectacular. I saw this image in my mind the moment we drove past it.

Day 39 of 365: When In Doubt, Shoot a Church

10 02 2010

Had no time to shoot today, starting to get desperate to keep the 365 project going. Can’t go wrong shooting a church. So I decided to play around with the high ISO on the D3s. – I found a dark church to shoot to challenge myself. For the geeks like me who care, this is ISO 25,600. The image came out very two dimensional to me, but hey, it’s an image for today and saves me from not fulfilling the project today…

Day 30 of 365: One Month Done!

1 02 2010

I made it to one month. Thanks to everyone who has supported this project so far. Your support is the encouragement I need. Now if I can only invent a few extra hours everyday! This first month has set the stage for a couple of themes for the remainder of the project. Most notably – nighttime HDR in NYC! This shot is very random, as I had to force myself to get a shot for today. So one month down, eleven to go! Stay tuned…

Day 25 of 365: New York in Motion

27 01 2010

New York New York, big city of dreams,
And everything in New York ain’t always what it seems,
You might get fooled if you come from out of town,
But I’m down by law and I know my way around.
