Playing with HDR

In my Photography and Compsiting 2 class we have been playing with advanced HDR and Panorama Options. We have been ranging from the photorealistic all the way down into the surrealistic. Check out some samples.

Alpine Loop1

Alpine Loop2

Alpine Loop3 - This one was interesting. We set up the tripod and marked its location with rocks. I took the Panorama, then I came back that night and took the panorama again to get the stars. Lesson Learned from this: Never play Jazz in the Canyon at night. You will attrack Elk. I left before it actually reached me, because Amorous or Angry, I did not want to find out.

Panorama Series, Part 0?

So, I have been going through pictures, and I find that I have been taking pictures with the apparent thought of making panoramas longer than I have actually known how to take panorama pictures. So here are a few I did and just combined.

This is the Smith family farm, south of Palmyra New York.

Here are two of San Diego.

And Here is Twin Falls Idaho.

Panorama Series 11

I forgot! We took these last month, so , some more pretty pictures for you to see! (I had a rootcanal retreat Tuesday. I'm on pain killers and anti biotics. I may be a little loopy.

This is where the recently finalized Phoenix Arizona Temple will be located.

Panorama Series 9

This last weekend was Fall Break, both for UVU and for Alpine School District. We were able to take a couple of days to go and meet up with Mom and Dad Barlow in Saint George. We were close enough to the temple that I ran on over 3 times to get pictures under various lighting conditions. Here are some of the results.

Panorama Series 8

Karen Carpenter was wrong. Mondays, quite possibly, but rainy days seldom get me down. Rainy days give you some of the most spectacular shots. These are from yesterday.

Panorama Series 7

I started taking these panoramic shots 2 weeks before the current semester started, only because I finally figured out how. Ironically, a week into my current semester, I find out that the first assignment for my photography and compositing class is, you guessed it, panoramics from multiple images.

Here are the ones I did just for that class.

Panorama Series 6

I went to Draper Temple last Tuesday night with my friend Jon. We had a good time and took lots of great pictures. Here are the Panoramas from the series.

Panorama Series 5

I needed to pick a power tool up from my older brother in Taylorsville last Friday night. I Instant messaged Paige and asked her if she wanted to go to Salt Lake.  She replied 'For pictures? Sure!' Which is how I ended up getting these shots.

This Last one was interesting. Each individual shot in the image took between 20 and 30 seconds. It took nearly 15 minutes to expose the whole image. Consequently, the sky is more blue to the right of the Temple, and gets progressively darker as it continues right, and wraps back around to the temple itself.

Panorama Series 4

Did I mention that Paige and I went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open house about a month ago? Yeah, we did. These Pictures are a mixture of shots taken since March, but mostly from a group taken last Monday Night.

I would love to have the opportunity to leave you with an image that is not long to be seen. This particular angle is going to bo covered up by a bunch of condos. There are other places to get a similar angle, and I intend to find them, but never in the history of the restoration has there ever been an opportunity like this before. Only this year, in all of history.
