After a disappointing couple of days in Bryce Canyon, I moved on to my next location which was to be Kodachrome Basin National Park, which is located between Bryce Canyon and the Grand Staircase Escalante Region of Utah. I found a great site in the primitive campground at the back of the park, I think I like this campground better than the front campground because of the dirt road leading in to it. This prevents most RV's from attempting access and is a much more serene environment, although the front campground has free showers but they can be used by all visitors, so I seized the opportunity. :)
This is the Bryce View Campground and is named so because its view overlooks not just Kodachrome Basin but also Bryce Canyon, which can be seen here off in the distance with a spectacular sunset in progress. Wouldn't you know it, the day I leave Bryce the sky explodes over it. Bah!! I guess a fourth trip to Bryce is on the itinerary in the future. "If at first you don't succeed try try again" is what I was taught. :)
I found this tree just off of the dirt road that leads back to some of the more remote formations in the park. It sits perched atop a red stone formation and stands only waist high. I tried to get a POV and composition that portrayed this tree as much bigger and an alternate composition capitalizing on it's stunted nature. I ended up liking this one better.
I am considering this to be an FDR image "Full Dynamic Range." Not an HDR image. HDR is usually associated with software designed specifically for that purpose. The problem with these software solutions is that by the time you get something you like, they introduce strong haloing properties and unpleasant artifacts which give it a fake unnatural look. By blending exposures manually you control what aspects of each exposure will be included in your final result, leading ultimately to a "Full Dynamic Range" image. Maybe we can start differentiating the two different types of processes. Have you ever had someone ask "Is it HDR" I like being able to say "NO", then again, if they have to ask then I'm getting close to real looking FDR photos.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day everybody!! :)

I spotted this place as we were pulling out of the Marina in Port Aransas. It didn't look very rustic so I decided to rough it up some..;) Back to work tomorrow..:(

What you see is about all that's left of Driftwood. Kind of an odd name for a town that's not close to water..:) Just saying..:) Anyway, here's some more info on the town:
Driftwood is a census-designated place and unincorporated community in northern Hays County, Texas, United States. It lies along Farm to Market Road 150, north of the city of San Marcos, the county seat of Hays County.[1] Its elevation is 1,043 feet (318 m).[2] Although Driftwood is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 78619;[3] the ZCTA for ZIP Code 78619 had a population of 2,467 at the 2010 census,[4] which is far larger than the population of the center of the community itself.[5]
Although the earliest settlers arrived in the area now known as Driftwood around 1850, the community was really established in the 1880s. A post office was among the results of the community's significant growth in that decade. Driftwood shrank almost to a ghost town by the early twentieth century; although it grew somewhat by the middle of the century, it returned to its almost-deserted state by the 1970s.[5]
Driftwood is also home to Driftwood Estate Winery, The Wildflower Barn Event Center, The Salt Lick, a relatively well-known barbecue restaurant and the Lazy 8 Ranch which had its dry mix products featured by the Texas Department of Agriculture in the 2010 Texas State Fair

This is a re-do of a prior photograph from years ago in Washington, D.C. of the roof over the courtyard at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. It was done in Picasa, the now discontinued software made available for years by Google. Hope you enjoy the pattern and colors.
So it's the 'Alexander' catamaran on its way to McMahons Point Wharf, Balmain East Wharf and then across Darling Harbour to Barangaroo.
If you catch this ferry, you will be just in time for an amazing dinner at 'The Malaya' restaurant in Lime Street, right near King Street Wharf, at Barangaroo.
This is one of the coolest restaurants in Sydney. Here's the info AND the latest menu:

After dinner catch a night ferry back across the harbour, under the bridge, and on to Circular Quay. OR, get off at Luna Park (aka Milsons Point) and take the super fast, brand new, Metro driverless train back to the Hills District. Too easy, lol.

1.5 million downloads for Aurora HDR ! Amazing everyone… and that’s only on the Mac (wait till we release the Windows version!! yes yes… still working on it I promise!). Anyway, to celebrate this number, we are throwing together a fun package deal just for a short time… it’s a bundle of the software and the new HDR Tutorial video I did with Lisa Bettany in Venice. Both together for a great price - see more at store.stuckincustoms.com/aurora-hdr-2017-bundle

First light of my new mount Mesu 200 mk2 !!
Really happy when I compare with the same picture last year, under different skies and diferent mount....
NGC 6820 is a small reflection nebula near the open cluster NGC 6823 in Vulpecula. The reflection nebula and cluster are embedded in a large faint emission nebula called Sh 2-86. The whole area of nebulosity is often referred to as NGC 6820.
Open star cluster NGC 6823 is about 50 light years across and lies about 6000 light years away. The center of the cluster formed about two million years ago and is dominated in brightness by a host of bright young blue stars. Outer parts of the cluster contain even younger stars. It forms the core of the Vulpecula OB1 stellar association. (Description credits: Wikipedia)

NGC 1333 is seen in visible light as a reflection nebula, dominated by bluish hues characteristic of starlight reflected by dust. A mere 1,000 light-years distant toward the heroic constellation Perseus, it lies at the edge of a large, star-forming molecular cloud. This view shows details of the dusty region along with hints of contrasting red emission from Herbig-Haro objects, jets and shocked glowing gas emanating from recently formed stars. In fact, NGC 1333 contains hundreds of stars less than a million years old, most still hidden from optical telescopes by the pervasive stardust. The chaotic environment may be similar to one in which our own Sun formed over 4.5 billion years ago.

Some software experts posed with me for a group portrait a couple months ago.
Top (L to R) is Christina, Lisa, Kandi, Cristy, and Jane.
Lower (L to R) is me and Jenna.
The concept was to publicly display some favorite software: real or faux.
I, for one, was initially surprised at the number of software experts in my collection of friends. In retrospect - maybe that should not be surprising.
After all, arguing with any one of us expert women is like reading a software license agreement...
...in the end, you ignore it all and click "I agree".
Resistance is futile.
Enjoy
