Yellowstone National Park

Sometimes when your heading for the picture you think will be "the one" you stumble into another picture you end up liking better.

My friend Andrew and I were hiking in Yellowstone to a famous spot call the Grand Prismatic.

We had finished shooting when Andrew dove into this meadow and I saw a wonderful opportunity.

Click on the picture to blow it up and see how rich the grass is and how cool Andrew looks.

Selective focus, good sunlight, interesting place.

Santa Monica Pier at nite

I found myself in Santa Monica the other nite having dinner with an old friend. I brought my Canon 5D and a tripod thinking "maybe, just maybe after dinner I'll take a few nite shots" I've been thinking about nite shots since looking at Julia Deans's class roster and wanting to take the cool nite class offered tonite of all times. But can't take the class-got other stuff.

Decided to hit the pier and see what or who was there. Quite a few fisherman, one angry man, a worker who didn't like my tripod (too bad), couples kissing, gangs, tourists--you get the idea.

The picture was facing north and set on aperture priority at f11 about 10 sec exposure. Little fussing in lightroom and PS3.
