Steamboat Sunset

Here’s a couple more images from my long weekend in Steamboat Springs back in early December. Steve Parker and I watched and waited for this sunset as it progressed from “good” to “outstanding”, but when we finally got out to shoot it, the wind had whipped up to add to the frigid temperatures already. I think the wind chill made for a chilly -5 degrees.

Both of these images are 3-shot HDRs, processed in Photomatix Pro.

Catamount Barn

Here’s something I’m working on from a recent family trip to Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

The Catamount Barn is under historical classification and is protected by, I think, the forestry service. It sits near the southeast end of Catamount Lake, below the West descent of Rabbit Ears Pass, tucked back in the corner on a private drive. This image is a 3-shot HDR processed with Photomatix Pro.

More to come from this trip as I get time to process, refine and post.

Good Efforts Gone Awry

As you probably can tell by now, I bring my camera with me to almost every Rockies game these days. I love being able to capture some special moments or just capturing the grandeur of Coors Field. I love this stadium and I love baseball.

For some reason this one game, my camera was set to something along the lines of +2.5EV, meaning that every shot was captured at 2.5 stops brighter than what the good exposure was. Yikes! And I didn’t realize this until about 30 frames into the game.

Back home at the Digital Darkroom, I’m uploading the images from the previous day’s events and remembered these 30 way-overexposed images and thought, “What can I do to salvage something from these shots?”

Solution — High-contrast black and white!

Here’s the results from a 12-shot panoramic attempt, all shot at +2.5EV.

Here is a three-image, hand-held HDR taken from the very tip-top of Coors Field, looking straight down towards home plate. This image is stunning when viewing the original HDR photo fullscreen.
