What’s interesting about this picture is not the pretty little village, it’s that this was a typical two lane road that we were on every day going to and from the plant. Germany is known for the autobahn, a road engineered to be almost 2x as hefty as normal, but… Continue reading
And, what does one get to eat at the Werner restaurant? A meter long schnitzel! For those who might not know, schnitzel is fried steak. This place served schnitzel that was a meter long… and our table downed two of them. It was not a healthy trip. Also, since you… Continue reading
So, a few weeks ago, some coworkers and I had a trip to Germany. I figure I’ll post some of the pictures over the next few days. Let’s start it off with this one – a shot of the Werner restaurant where we had our team dinner one evening. Please… Continue reading
A different angle on the waves in Grand Haven – I’d like to have gotten in front of the light posts, but I also wanted to keep my shoes dry. Apparently, I’m not willing to make the sacrifices it takes to get the shot. Photo taken with Nikon D80 (not… Continue reading
The view descending Mt. Washburn – somewhere along that ridge we had to break right and cross the snow which was the most adventurous part of the hike, particularly around the edges where we’d occasionally just drop through. Fortunately, we didn’t step on any any marmot burrows or bear dens…. Continue reading
The view from atop Mt. Washburn – it was a rather pretty day to be up there. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 18-135mm lens @ 18mm, 1/640 shutter, f/11, ISO 100
One of the black bears we saw in Yellowstone. Looking back on these pictures, I wish I had a better camera (actually, better lens would have been preferable) and had shot them all as RAW files. There was probably a quarter million dollars in lenses* standing the bank watching this… Continue reading
I feel like the Badlands get ignored because they don’t have the biggest, tallest, wildest, whatever-est claim, but it really was a beautiful park, and based on pictures I’ve seen from other people, I would readily go back there for another visit. Of course, we were there in the early… Continue reading
One of the waterfalls in the Smoky Mountains on the trail to Rainbow Falls. This has been about the only place I’ve visited where I really like the warmer tone to the pictures. Typically, I seem to like everything to lean toward the blue-magenta area of the color triangle. Picture… Continue reading
One of the tulips in Mark’s yard from last spring. I did some experimenting with reducing the depth of field, but ended up liking the version with slight definition in the grass better. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 88mm, 1/10 sec shutter, f/11, ISO 100
