Walkin' on Top

Sunday night we went to the top of Butterfield Canyon behind the Kennecot Copper mine. It was all I could do to keep the kids stich-free and shoot at the same time. I'll post more as I get them processed.

Cache Valley Cruise-In

It's been awhile since I posted any pics, but better late than never I guess.

Here are a couple from the cache valley cruise in. Click on the pics for larger versions.

Las Vegas

These are some from the Vegas trip.

Most ended up in Black and White. I didn't bring the tripod, so I shot high ISO and the noise made the color versions difficult.

This is a picture of the Las Vegas City Center project. It's amazing how huge the place is. I probably shot this from a half mile away.

Lady Liberty from New York, New York











































From the tunnel at Balley's. This couple caught my eye.






























I liked the sign on this building. It's obvious that someone is trying to push them out. You can see how the monorail and casinos have gone up all around them.






























The last two are from the water show at the Bellagio.

Minneapolis

Here are a few from my recent trip to Minneapolis.

These first two are from the Westminister Presbyterian Church in downtown Minneapolis. I thought we were out of luck when we went and found the doors locked, but a custodian let us in and turned all the lights on for us. The church is gorgeous!

























































Besides being a good pilot, Chris is very cutting edge model! The color in this was all messed up from the stained glass, so I went B&W to salvage it.

























These kids playing at Lake Minnetonka were great! They were having a ball doing absolutely nothing by the water.

Charles W. Nibley

This is from the Logan Cemetery across from the USU housing. With hundreds of students surrounding this place, you can imagine that the cops watch it pretty closely at night. I wasn't in here more than 45 seconds before I got spotlighted. So, I did what every good citizen would do...I parked across the street and walked in.

I painted the headstone and the tree with a flashlight to experiment. Unfortunately, this is the only shot I got off before being spooked out by another car that drove in and parked nearby.

Mountain Stream

This is another HDR shot from the trip with the kids yesterday.

Boys Night Out

Mom finally got a much-needed break tonight, so while she was out the Boys and I went shooting! My penance for packing the boys around the forest was dinner at Burger King, a place that, according to Logan, does not serve boogers.
