A little open space…..

Saturday, April 28th, 2012

Well, my PC tower crashed recently. Therefore I have no access to any of my normal editing software including Autopano Pro. No more panoramic images for awhile. However, I installed Kolor’s XnView on my laptop for a test run…it works well enough for JPGs. So, for the time being I’m shooting in JPG on my Canon and processing on my laptop. I snagged a couple shots while on a walk around the lake with my baby Jasper who is now 6 weeks.

Watching over the domain....

This was taken with my Canon 40D and 50mm prime at 1/100 f/18 and ISO 125 with slight crop and saturation/hue adjustments in XnView post.

Almost...

I almost got the fish out of water, oh well. Taken with the 40D and 50mm at 1/100 f/22 and ISO 100 and similar saturation/hue adjustments.

Taken near the Front Porch in the Flatirons

Went to the top of the Front Porch in the Flatirons last weekend for a high resolution panoramic. However, that will require a retake. But this shot turned out alright.

Russell Peak

The SE Face of Russell Peak near Berthoud Pass.

Had a nice day of skiing on the Westside of Berthoud Pass today.  I got a nice looking Panoramic taken with wide angle though.

Meeker and Longs, yet again.

I wanted Dreamweaver badly today, but as the below image shows…it wasn’t in.

Dreamweaver is the right hand snow line, but it was not enough for a solo

The wind also aided my decision to take it easy.

The wind was alive up there, looking along Lady Washington's South Face.

Despite this, I found an excellent stash of ice below Chasm Lake.  I monkeyed around for a bit with a little ice climbing and a little dry tooling.  Good times!

The ice flows from Chasm Lake above. This was taken after my play time.

Along the base of the ice flows.

Naturally, I was alone and without a tripod.  Therefore, I have no really cool self portraits of my climbing.

A Black and White with Color

First attempt at this Layer Mask business....not sure if I'm a fan yet.

Here’s what I did with Photoshop, the background image is the standard photo, then next layer is the BW. I colored the BW layer with Black on the bottom half (the color section) this brought through the colors of the original background….well, see if I get better.
