Taken at the arroyo behind Abo, erosion exposes the sandstone that was used to build the pueblos and the mission.
I'm coming down to the last of the images from my Oaks Park outing. It was a LOT of fun seeing what I could see, and the processing the results. Sometimes photography is just too much fun! Makes me smile a whole bunch.

Oh legions of hawkers of fame!
Oh warehouses of moneyed greed!!
Open my wallet and take your due!!!
The faceless snickering slinky leeches of Life Force. Take it all!
Somewhere around Sedona theres a road that gets well warn by pink jeeps and the occasional nissan xterra.
Our x wasnt set up as well as the pink jeeps so we had to turn around half way thru the loop.
Someday the x will have the right suspension and tires and we will give it another go.
I get a lot of joy out of walking around and watching to see what shows up. New perspectives. Old ideas re-worked. Unexpected situations. Interesting compositions.
I love it all!
Chill'n by the blockhouse.

Using the HDR tone-mapping techniques that I've been developing recently, I wanted to see how pure B&W might work. These are desaturated from the original.

Pueblo beneath the Citadel Ruins tower. Atop the Citadel Ruins you can see many other ruins both close up and afar. These are as close as it gets just so many yards away from the tower.

Not only did I use the tone mapping application, but I relied on the Gimp to get the contrast and colors the way I "saw" them.

Well... for better or worse... here are my "final" results from working with these rather interesting squash.
I started with one to three exposures. I then HDR'd them using Qtpfsgui. Into the Gimp they went for contrast control, saturation enhancements, tinting, then balancing the various layers to get the "desaturated" yet tinted effects I was looking for.
In hind site, I rather like the pure B&W versions. Still, these are very attractive to me as they appear to have taken on an alien life form.
So there you have it. My mind. My process. Squashy results. I hope you enjoyed it.

There is a small shrine to the Madonna that is slowly evolving over the years. The bike shop that this is at is a great location for folks looking for rides and ride gear. So... for a bunch of non-religious bike freaks, this is an interesting homage to Our Lady. I think it's great!
On my way out to the car I came upon this truck. It's forsale. It reminded me of my father's truck when I was growing up.
These are an extreme experiment on HDR tone-mapping. I think the technique works better with complex highly textured images. The smoothness of these images... well... I'm willing to learn to like it... but... I'll have to give it some time to see how I feel...
This image was created for the Rise Up, Fallen Angel Call to Artists. I wanted something simple and clean. The feather was photographed with a Nikon D50, processed in RawStudio, then edited in The Gimp. The layout and design is in Scribus. The Call extends until April 18th, 2011 go to vix.ca/blog/rise-up-fallen-angel/
My wife and I went to Vancouver, BC to visit Desmo_Dave. He was over for a conference and being a friend of going on 20 years, I thought it important to pay him a visit while he was in my hemisphere.
I was struck by the squattiness (I know, there's no such word) of this building. After a bit of AEB HDR tone-mapping I realize, once again, this is how the scene "feels" to me when I stand waiting for the bus home.
