We began the walk at City Park, behind the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the Denver Zoo, walking westward towards the Capital building. This being October, the trees in City Park were spectacular.

Downtown Denver was busy with people going wherever they need to be going on a Sunday afternoon. With the Occupy Denver protestors (patrol cars, looky-lou’s and hecklers) and the lower-downtown (LoDo) tourists, it was hard to get anything to stay still long enough for any camera exposure.

Our walk ultimately ended up at the Capital building, amongst the Occupy Denver protestors hanging out in the quad behind us (in between the Capital building and the City and County building to the west.) And over the course of these couple miles, nothing really caught my eye — I wanted to really get to the Capital building and try out some HDR photography techniques with the waning sunset light on the building itself, so I was a little antsy to get to the end, I guess.

And finally, after the sun had set and the “glow” of the sun on the copper dome had faded, I had to try processing one final shot of the capital building in Black and White.

What do you think of these images? Too “HDR-ie” or natural enough that it doesn’t bother you to learn they were shot and processed as HDR images?

Finally, the journey turned out to be a great walk and something Colby will conduct again this year. It was free to join and very fun to shoot and mingle with a lot of excellent photographers. I highly recommend this event this year. Check out the link above to Colby’s web site for announcements and dates of the next photowalk. I hear Roxborough Park might be on the agenda this time.

Can anyone tell me (in the comments) what this photograph is of? (HINT: It’s NOT lightning bolts!)

Mothers Day Title9K Walk Run 2010

While out cheering on my wife in her first 9K walk/run event this past Sunday (Mothers Day), I came across this little girl strolling through the dandelions. I loved he backlit dandelion scene, green grass and this beautiful toddler looking for the perfect dandelion to pick for Mother’s Day. What a beautiful and natural scene I had stumbled upon!

Found It!

Looking in to Eldorado Canyon State Park

Took family out for a little hike over the Thanksgiving Holidays, and of course, we couldn’t get the early start that I like to for capturing photos, but I did get a few interesting shots. The one here was from a vista shot looking in towards Eldorado Canyon State Park. I then took it in Lightroom and converted it to B&W and did some localized adjustments as well as some contrast adjustments.

What do you think of it?
