More from Banff

I have posted a few more photos from Banff on the Smugmug site. Click on the image above for more.

SC State Fair

Well, it's late October in South Carolina which means that the State Fair has come and gone. This year we entered 2 photos in the professional fine arts division. Both photos were processed with Photomatix High Dynamic Range (HDR) software. This process involves taking multiple images captured at different exposure values, then using the HDR software to process the images using tone mapping. The results can be very interesting.

Funky Little Shack

We didn't receive any awards, but still, this is a great way to have your work viewed by lots of people.

Lake Minnewanka

I spent 4 days in the Canadian rockies this week attending a conference. It was a busy week, but I managed to get out on my own for a few hours on the last day and photograph some of the scenery. It was, in a word, breathtaking.

The photo above is a composite panorama of nine images taken at Lake Minnewanka just outside of Banff. A little snow on the peaks would have made this perfect. Maybe I'll get have better luck next time.

I will have more from the trip on smugmug soon, so check back often.
