Some Shots from the West

Here are a couple from a recent trip through SD and into Wyoming. Hoped to get more wildlife but had lens problems with the camera.

NICE comps, HH. I like every one of them.

The moon and sun shots would have been great candidates for the blending technique illustrated on another thread here. Taking one exposure to get the sun/moon metered right and another for the landscape and blending them would have provided images without the moon and sun blown out.

But otherwise I think these are great, and not everybody believes in blending to achieve a more even exposure, anyway. Excellent work.

Very nice photos. I like them all but the last one is my favorite.

Nice shots! Like the last one as well.

Steve, thanks for the input on blending, I tried the bracketing feature with the camera just now and I think I could handle the PS part, now I will just have to take the time to get the shots with the technique when I get the opportunity, and try it. Always something to learn.

[Steve Foss]

Always, indeed.

[Dbl]

Nice work indeed

[Paul]

I really enjoyed the last 2 shots. Looked like a great trip.

[Jim Almquist]

All nice shots HH but number 1 is my fav.

[mcary]

HH, Very nice work. They're all good, but I really like the 2nd and last ones in the series.

Number 4 is easilly my favorite, the gradient in the sky is beautiful and I like where you placed the sun!
