Another image from my October photo-shoot that I was originally unsure about. But now in January looking at the image I really like the mixture of colors.
Twin Falls near Jamison Run also known as the MCelhatten Reservoir which heads Mcelhatten creek, which in turn flows into Keller Reservoir. This is one of those places that only the locals that live near by know about. I actually found out about it via a geocaching site quite near the falls and it was the only reference to the falls I could find at the time. This shot was taken on my 2nd trip to the site in 2 days as the 1st trip yeilded very poor quality images.
This HDR was generated using 3 exposures from a hand held Canon 350d. Nothing fancy just having some fun with HDR.
The thing that bothered me most about hurricane Gustav was the fact that it turned out to be a big non-event. I know that its good for the populace of Louisiana & Texas and such. When days and dollars are spent on such an event you build this expactation of the raw power of nature being unleashed apon you and in the end, when that doesn’t happen there is this sense of dissapointment. None the less Gustave did leave me with a few rare colors in the sky and for that I am gratefull.
This duckweed was taken at Chicot State park at around noon. It was hot with no wind out but the photo demanded to be taken…
So here we go, round 3 with WordPress. I keep coming back to WordPress again and again. They must be doing something right. This image was taken at Chicot State park in Central Louisiana near Bunkie. A lot of photoshop work later this was the end result and I have to say I really like the dark moodiness of it.
In early December 2007 I was to be found walking a small loop trail over at Raymond B. Diaz State Park in Eastern Texas. Much to my surprise I found a pair of water Moccasins. One was Male and one was female. This one decided to pose for me while the other (larger) one was running away.. I used the 300mm lens and had some distance between me and the critter before I started shooting.
