Yosemite Valley from Tunnel View (IR)

Yosemite Valley from Tunnel View (IR)

An infra-red panorama of Yosemite Valley taken from Tunnel View. In the distance, El Capitan can be seen on the left of the valley and Bridalveil Falls on the right. Half Dome is right in the centre (but you'll need to zoom in to see it).

I would greatly appreciate your vote in the 2012 Photoblog Awards. Thanks!

Atlas and St. Patrick's Cathedral

Atlas and St. Patrick's Cathedral

The statue of Atlas at Rockefeller Center in New York with St. Patrick's Cathedral behind.

If you have been in New York, there's about an 85% chance that you have this exact picture in your library. I've shot it a couple of times before (both times being hassled by a security guard who wanted to make really sure I knew that I shouldn't even think about using a tripod) but wanted to try something different on this occasion. I framed it wider than usual then tweaked the colours to give it an old-ish feel. I rather like the result.

Coyote, Yosemite National Park

Coyote, Yosemite National Park

This coyote (Canis Latrans) was walking up and down by a rest stop near Glacier Point, begging for food from every car that slowed down. I was lucky enough to have the right lens attached and got several very close shots through the open car window.

Although there are strict rules against feeding the wildlife, I have to assume that these are ignored by enough visitors that animals like this one associate cars with food.

Eclipse over University of Texas

Eclipse over University of Texas

The partial solar eclipse of May 20th, 2012 as seen as the sun sets over the University of Texas in Austin. I'm not sure which building that is but, looking at the map, the only one that falls under the line of the sunset would appear to be the college of geophysical sciences and petroleum engineering. I'll take a look at Google street view and see if I can confirm this.

Unfortunately, Austin was about 400 miles too far east for us to see the full annular eclipse but we got about 60% coverage or so before the sun dipped below the horizon.

This was taken from the City of Austin transportation depot just off 183, north of 71, a location that Jerry Hayes had scouted earlier in the week. We had hoped to get the Capitol dome in the shot but, unfortunately, to get that, we would have had to park in the middle of the bridge down at 183 and Montopolis and setting up on a freeway didn't seem like a good thing to do. Strangely enough, as I drove back that way, there was a guy with a motocycle parked there on the shoulder and a camera on a tripod so I guess he got the shot!

By the way, this is straight out of the camera with no processing other than the square crop. I thought it was rather amusing that the colour was almost exactly UT orange.
