Moon Reflection - Bright as Day

This moon reflection was taken on a partly cloudy night. The small pond shows the moon and clouds towards the south. (on nights like this, it is impossible to see the southern Milky Way). Taken around 11PM with a Canon 550D with a Tonika Wide Angle Lens.

Antique Antique Store

Taken in an old antique shop in a old mining town in Utah. Although not currently open for business, the owner allowed me inside for a few pictures. I appreciate the antiques themselves, the paint chips on the ceiling, and the portions of the roof that droop down. Canon 550D, High Dynamic Range processing with nice colors as a result. Thanks for stopping by.

Pictograph - Straight Up before sundown

Shown here is another pictograph on the same cliff, looking straight up before sundown. A few stars are starting to appear in the dark blue sky. Taken with my Canon 550D.

Early Native American Pictograph with Milky Way in Background

Highlighted here is an early native american pictograph on a sheer rock cliff near the Unita National Forest in Utah. The Milky Way is just starting to appear to the south east. Image taken with a Canon 550D, 20 sec exposure, f-stop 2.8, ISO of 800.

Old Sinclair Gas Station - Elberta, Utah

This is the old Sinclair gas station at the intersection of Hwy 68 and Hwy 6, in Elberta, Utah. HDR processed with about 6 or seven images over a wide range of lighting.  Canon 550D, Tonika wide angle lens.  Thanks to my daughter and family and my wife for being patient with me.

Yellow Lily

I used the High Dynamic Range technique for this image. (One under-exposed, one over-exposed, and one normally exposed). Taken with a Canon 550D, Tonika 11-16mm lens at 16mm, as close as I could get and still focus. This has some potential.

Sunset over the Oquirrh Mountains

Fireball scene over the Oquirrh Mountains tonight. Complete with cell phone tower. Taken with a Canon 550D, Tamron 18-270 zoomed to 270, 1/1000 sec exposure, F-stop 13. There are a couple of sunspots. One is at about the 4 o'clock position, towards the center.

World War II Vintage Hanger - Wendover Air Base, NV

This picture is of one of the hangers, built during World War II, at the old Wendover Air Base in Wendover, Nevada. There is a lot of history at this base, since the "Enola Gay" was prepared for it's atomic bomb drop over Japan a few hangers down.  Taken with a Canon 550D, Tonika 11-16mm lens at16mm, ISO 100, f-stop of 4.0, 30 second exposure. Taken around 2230 hours (Utah time).  The moon is blown out, but I wanted to capture as much of the building color as I could. Saturn and Spica are visible above the structure at the top of the picture.
