HDR Sunset at Gates’ Pass in Tucson

I like the way these came out. The colors are interesting and you can see shadow details thanks to the HDR treatment.

HDR in Alaska

I caught a bird flying over a lake while shooting three images for this HDR composite. One day I will fix it to show only one bird, but for now it’s still interesting to look at.

HDR in Mexico

At a hotel in Mexico, I tried some night HDR images. These are based on single time exposures.

Belize wedding

This was a beautiful wedding. The couple chose a beautiful villa set in a dramatic location, a place called Ambergris Caye. We did some post-processing, and a few images were monochrome with only certain items in color.

Johanna and Jenny

We’ve been tracking the progress of Johanna and Jenny, our favorite sisters in Antigua, Guatemala, since we started visiting their beautiful city five years ago. Each time we go, we visit them on the hill where they live.

Nadia shoot

Nadia is a model and artist from San Francisco. Her work can be viewed at nadiamoon.blogspot.com. For an alternate take on this set, check out Anil’s shoot.

Portia

We met Portia at the airport while waiting at the gate. She was so beautiful that we had to do an impromptu shoot on the spot, using existing light (which turned out be wonderful). I used the trusty Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4 lens to achieve the beautiful bokeh. Thanks, Portia!
