Pioche Fire House

I have always loved this building.

Million Dollar Courthouse

Normally I would have cropped out the bottom part of this photo but have you ever found when you develop photos that you have to crop out a bunch of the photo to make the normal sizes? I've been trying to train myself to take extra ground or sky in a photo so that when it goes to print, none of the important stuff is cut out. I hate that!
Also, this was a hard building to shoot.  The other corner of the building is blah...nothing of interest. Yet the trees on this side are almost in the way.  I got as low as I could. I need some sort of system for laying my camera on the ground on it's side to get the shot I want for this. (I guess if I had like...a rolled up pair of socks or a bean bag to put under the lens, I could have been down a bit lower instead of on my tripod)

Death Valley Panos

Took a trip to Death Valley with Peter from Sydney, OZ. Panos in order: Dante's View, Zabriskie Point, and Badwater.

First HDR attempts

Errors I made: too little light (not enough distinction between the exposures), I should've used a prime lens instead of my zoom (too many elements in the lens created flares and it's soft around the edges), and multiple colors make for more interesting pictures. But that's the point, live and learn.
