I’ve become less enam­ored with the overly extreme HDR effect so on this photo I’ve redone it and tried to bring it back into some­thing not quite so unreal. I really love this shot, but the light just wasn’t great in a reg­u­lar shot. I couldn’t expose every­thing equally. So it was a great can­di­date for some HDR love. What do you think? Still too unreal, or just right?

I dis­cov­ered a new park up the Poudre Canyon yes­ter­day. I had no idea it existed, and I’m thrilled to have found it because there were some really fan­tas­tic HDR oppor­tu­ni­ties up there. Among them, this lit­tle compound.

Should I tell you want it really is? How about you guess and later on I’ll tell you what this really is. I swear I’ve seen this as a level in a video game at some point, and the HDR effect just adds to that illusion.

I guess my blog is really just a pho­to­blog with a side order of web design links lately. I’ve got a list of posts I’d like to write some day when I have the time, but those will have to wait and you will have to make do with the pictures.

I took a bunch of fall pho­tos a few weeks ago think­ing that I might need them for some kind of project. The trees are all bare now and this photo just makes me wist­ful for summer.

I almost bought a ticket to Portland for the week­end today, for less than $200. But I felt bad about the idea of going with­out Sarah, who has week­end oblig­a­tions. I’ll be com­ing out there often enough around February/​March when I begin the process of relo­cat­ing though.

My mush­room fas­ci­na­tion con­tin­ues. You can imag­ine what this blog will look like next fall after we’ve moved to Portland. It will be mush­room cen­tral around here.

I was sur­prised to see these mush­rooms this late in the year. They are dried out though, and not really liv­ing organ­isms at this point. They’re like the mush­room equiv­a­lent of leaves I sup­pose. Clinging to the bark that is both their birth­place and their grave.

I just love the intri­cate curls and curves in these. The organic shape of a mush­room is inef­fa­ble to me.
