Lost in the Hills' photostream  

As near as I can tell, this is a 1957, but I am open to correction. Thanks Mike this is a 58.

This photo has been manipulated a fair amount. The original had this next to an old trailer and had some farm implements behind it.

I hated to pass on the shot, so this is what I came up with. I hope Paul doesn't mind.

This is more of an exercise than anything else... the is 8 5x HDR images aligned and merged while pulling focus. I like the result I got with the Pysanky and thought I would try something a bit more ambitious.

Friend Shirley invited a group of us down to shoot her family's farm early this morning. We shot an old truck for a while while waiting for the rising sun to hit this old tractor. This is 5x HDR with some Focal Point shenanigans.

Last shot of the morning. The sun was starting to rise and the light was fading. This old barn does not have too long to go. I'm glad I got the opportunity to shoot it.

These are examples of my wife Joanne's decorated Ukrainian Egg (Pysanky)
I wanted to try out a stacked focus technique so I asked her for the loan of a few of her eggs.

This is 14 shots stacked, aligned and blended. I moved the point of focus slightly for each shot. A sharpen, curves and a crop later I was done. I like the technique and I'm looking forward to playing with it more.
