Ground Zero at dusk




Looking from Jersey City, ground zero is just a bit behind the glass building structure and the two flanking buildings. Shot in HDR; 5 shots, I believe, combined and downsampled with Photoshop CS2. Click to enlarge.

Sammy J!



Another candid shot of Samuel Jackson from NYC. I like the other one more, but he seems kinda pondrous in this one. :) Click to enlarge.

Another shot of the capitol ceiling



This is a different chandelier -- this one hangs in the main rotunda. This is also HDR; 5 shots in 2 shot bracket increments shot at 10mm. Click to enlarge.

Nebraska Capitol Chandelier



I was doing some experiments today in the Nebraska State Capitol. Dunno how they'll turn out yet -- but while I was there I shot a few HDRs. This is looking up at the entrance chandelier. The tour guide came over and told me that the darn thing weighs 3,500 pounds. Made me want to finish shooting it quicker, I'll tell ya that! :) Click to enlarge.


By the way -- if you ever wanted to see a good example of the difference between HDR downsampling and normal photography (or, as some do, trying to make "HDRs" out of single RAW files/JPEGS), here's a good example of what's possible with HDR downsampling... you can actually see the freakin' filaments in the freakin' lightbulbs! :) 100% crop detail below:

Rave-on




I had the honor of taking Raven's senior pics yesterday. One of the shooting spots, a piano recital room, turned out to be way too cramped for photography, so I went for a few fun shots instead. I tend to get goofy when I know it doesn't count any more. :) Click to enlarge.

House




On my way home tonight from shooting someone's senior pictures in Kearney, I noticed this old house sitting on the road. Perfect candidate for HDR. :) Click to enlarge.
