September 12, 2024 - This morning we had an optional excursion to Horseshoe Bend. "Horseshoe Bend has been featured as a landmark for Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Grand Canyon National Park, the Cities of Page AZ, Kanab UT, St George UT, and the Navajo Nation. Boundary lines are very close in some places. Horseshoe Bend itself, and that part of the Colorado River, are a part of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. About nine miles downstream is where Grand Canyon National Park begins. US Highway 89, the land north of the trail to the Horseshoe Bend overlook, and the parking area for the trailhead are in the City of Page. The land south of the parking area and the trail and overlook are on the Navajo Nation. This mixture of jurisdictions provides a unique opportunity in the management of this magnificent trail and overlook." Previous text: www.nps.gov/glca/planyourvisit/horseshoe-bend.htm

There was a lot of haze in the sky today, but I am posting these jet aircraft photos anyway. Besides cropping, I may have adjusted the lightness and contrast to compensate for all the haze in the sky. I rarely adjust photos.

Buffalo’s architectural gem, the Hotel Henry, stands illuminated against a surreal twilight backdrop, its historic Richardson Olmsted Complex silhouette framed by the hazy, color-rich skies shaped by distant Canadian wildfires. The warm glow of its windows and lamps contrasts with the deepening purples overhead, creating a dreamlike panorama that blends history, beauty, and nature’s dramatic brushstrokes in one breathtaking view.

The view from the Little Pinnacle overlook. I was playing with this in Lightroom. Not sure if I like reverse vignetting or not.

September 11, 2024 - "Indian Watchtower at Desert View (1932). The Indian Watchtower at Desert View (1932), the last of this series of Colter buildings, stands at the eastern end of the south rim of the grand Canyon. From a distance the building's silhouette looks like the Anasazi watchtower it was meant to mimic. In plan the structure is composed of one enormous circle at the north, a small circle at the south, and gently arched forms connecting the two. As Virginia L. Grattan wrote in Mary Colter Builder Upon the Red Earth, "The Indian watchtower at Desert View was not a copy, but what Colter called a 're-creation' of an Indian watchtower." Standing at 70 feet, with a 30-foot base, the tower was unique in having a concrete foundation and a steel framework well hidden in the stones of the tower. The ground level of the tower was a large, round observation room with a spectacular view of the Grand Canyon. Upstairs the Hopi Room presents paintings by Hopi artist Fred Kabotie, who took the room's theme from the Hopi Snake Dance. An outdoor observation deck is directly above the observation room." I took the above text from a photograph I took from my 2015 visit however the link no longer is viable but I am still including it here. Text was from the following website:

Went up to Broga hill for sunset. The sunset wasn't all that great this time with all the haze. And there were signs that the place is becoming too commercialized. Luckily not a lot of people come here to see the sunsets.

Haven't done a panorama for a while, and inspired by Mark Ellis's fine work, decided I would try one (or two).
I woke early one morning before work this week, so took the opportunity to leave home early and make it in time to catch the sunrise whilst looking out over the Derwent River - shame I had to go to work after this.

The still smokey haze makes for a wonderful sunset as the sun sets over Lund at the end of Leg 5 of this cruise.
June 18, 2017 - Our next stop was a visit and walk on the Xi'an City Wall. "At 12 meters high and 15 meters wide, the 14-kilometer-long Xi'an City Wall is the most complete ancient city wall in China" previous text from an article from CNN published in 2015.
Since I was up and outside anyway I decided to try some closeups of just the moon with the new (to me) 800mm f8 Rokinon, but the extreme haze from the humidity did not help any.

I took a little road trip south of Hobart down the Channel way yesterday with view to testing out my new 24-70 f2.8 Nikkor, and to take some shots of areas I had not previously taken in any serious way previously. I am also back to doing more traditional shooting, though now find doing bracketed sets assists me in being able to get the shots looking more like I would like by the use of blending, rather than with HDR all of the time (I am finding that HDR is a little limited at this stage, in that it is quite difficult to get every shot looking right - though this does not mean that I have abandoned the technique). Shooting HDR has made me realize that there are two rather opposing schools of thought out there, with a smaller, more moderate group that sit in-between who either use, or tolerate both of the other techniques - let's call them Traditional and HDR.
I am now trying to get as much detail into my shots as I can squeeze out of my D300 and my lenses (and my limited abilities). This shot was not taken using the Nikkor, and was taken using the trusty Sigma 10-20 (where would we be without this little gem of a lens). I had a Hoya polarizer on the front of the lens (which later fell on the ground and seperated the two sides - more expense in repairs).
The other thing that I set out to do was to take some shots through the less-than-ideal times of the day when the sun was high in the sky. I figure that if HDR is a way of evening up the dynamic range, then there must be more traditional methods (outside of grads) that enable high contrast scenes to be made a little less so, yet still appear appealing to the viewer. This, along with a couple of other posts of late, are my endeavours to do this.
I would appreciate good, honest feedback from the more experienced of you in how you think I am going (including in composition, processing etc.). If it's flawed....then tell me!
