A Light-Painter's Little Planet

A Light-Painter's Little Planet

The process to make this was a bit silly. ;-)

Image Notes: I combined multiple exposures of airborn changing-color LEDs and then used the typical "Little Planet" routine. The little reflective orbs were generated with the fun and free Adobe Pixel Bender plugin for Photoshop. You can see the image of all the light tosses combined before being planeticized in the first comment below. ;-)))

Turning Into Winter

Turning Into Winter

A road following Snowmass Creek in the Colorado Rockies seems to lead the eye right into winter.

Image Notes: Handheld HDR based off of 7 frames, processed in the newest version of SNS HDR (known for its natural output and the new masking features rule!).

Desert Ice

Desert Ice

This view from Fossil Point Overlook, also known as Thelma and Louise Point, offers impressive views of a nicely iced Colorado River as it flows into Canyonlands National Park, Utah. This was the first time I've seen ice flows in the river like this, it was really neat!

It was right here where the iconic ending of the movie Thelma and Louise was filmed, though most folks go looking for it at Deadhorse State Park (a view of the area from above, but this is where the car drove off the cliff into the "Grand Canyon"). It's a bit off the beaten track, so we usually have had this overlook to ourselves when we visit. It was my birthday when we visited on this day and again we had the place to ourselves with my wife doing yoga on the rocks and me taking far too many photos. ;-)))

Image Notes: Triple-processed RAW: once for sky, once for shadows and once for mid-tones. I used Tony Kuyper's luminosity masks techniques for assisting in blending the results together. Canyons make for some of the most challenging post-processing for sure!

This Sky Goes to Eleven

***Please View Large on Black to Best See the Stars (press "L" for lightbox, or click here)***

When light pollution is low the Milky Way really shines! This was taken near Encampment, Wyoming in a favorite dark skies location of mine.
