One of my photos just made Finalist in the Outdoor Photographer Magazine Mystical Adventures Photo Contest. This photo was shot in Gloucester, Cape Ann, Massachusetts in Lobster Cove by the small village of Annisquam. Cape Ann is located on the coast some 43 miles northeast of Boston, Massachusetts. The GPS location for this shot is Latitude 42.654855 Longitude -70.674945. Click on my photo below to register to vote in the Outdoor Photographer Magazine Photo Contest. Voting is done by selecting your favorite photos and rating them 1 to 5 stars. Every time you vote you are also entered automatically for a chance to win Polar Bear Photo Adventure for two. Of course, I would appreciate a vote for my photo!
This photo was shot in autumn just after sunrise. First, I set up the camera on a tripod and shot 3 photographs at 3 different exposures; 1/4 sec. 1/15 sec and 1/60 sec. ,all at F8. Then , I imported them into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, then combined them with the Plugin Photomatix Pro 3.1, a program for processing in HDR High Dynamic-Range photography. This allows one to see the detail in the shadows and highlights. It also has the ability to create some pretty cool special effects. Then, I imported them back into Lightroom for final fine tuning. The camera I used was the Nikon D80 with a Nikon 16-85mm Lens and a Circular polarizer filter. Camera settings, Aperture Priority, ISO 100, in RAW format and the Lens set to 16mm.

The photos in this gallery were shot in and around Leadville Colorado. Leadville is an old mining town set at an elevation over 10000 feet above sea level. Visiting the old buildings around the town bring up thoughts of ghosts from the 1880’s. Each photo in this Gallery starts off as 3 separate photographs at 3 different exposures and combined with a process called HDR or High Dynamic-Range. This allows one to see the detail in the shadows and highlights. It also has the ability to create some pretty cool special effects.
