Beach Driftwood, Fisherman’s Spit, Lopez Island, WA
This was clearly a case of pre-visualization. Guilty as charged. K10D, 50mm, circular-polarizer, 100iso, 1/200. Gimp: 1 color layer and two contrast layers, not counting borders.

Watmough Bay Panorama
This is not a super duper pano, this is full of bracketed shots. The difference (ghosting) of the branches is a combination of me shifting footing and wind. (Hugin with HDR and Gimp to bring out color.) This one is probably too wide for a triple monitor setup, but it might work.

Fort Ebey Sunset
This is the way I wanted the sunset to look ;-) Pentax K10D, 28mm, 200iso ~1/40. I like the triple sun glare spots that came out in Hugin.

2014-01-01 Skagit View of Olypics [wide wallpaper]
I absolutely loved this view. I got this with a 300mm lens, 1/250@f/5, Pentax K10D, and a monopod. This did not start out as an HDR image; I got a lot more contrast into the mountains using Gimp. And that is what I wanted. I’m learning that an Overlay layer works really well for a ND…

2014-01-01 Skagit Preserve Heron [wide desktop]
Sometimes you just come away with all blurry photos. This is a shot to do properly I should have rigged a tripod with a 15lb weight with. However, I was just going with a monopod and leaning against a fence. Using a Pentax K10D, 300m 1/250@f/5 lens, this shot metered about ~2/3 stop under and…

2014-01-01 LaConner Cold Storage
Here’s a picture of an abandoned cold storage plant. These are pipes wrapped in canvas and polystyrene. Bonus points if you tell me how I cooked it.
