San Francisco Carosel / Canon G10

Two Shots, merged

A gray January day / Sigma DP2 / HDR / panorama via Photoshop / Topaz / nine blended and merged shots

Legacy shots today because out back it's pretty glum.

Canon G1X / UV filter lens flare / I shoot the sun / bright cloudy sky

 Another legacy shot from the G1X sitting on a sd card awaiting "development." These are two side by sides merged in Photoshop and tweaked in post process. I like both the color and monochrome, so I posted both.

Canon G1X / Sky wave

Legacy shot.

Canon G1X / Rainbow

Legacy shot. Two side by sides, merged in Photoshop.

Sky crossing contrails sunstar / Sigma DP2 exposure bracketing shots +-1 / HDR combine Photoshop / Topaz

Suns out even though it's pretty cold. Grabbed DP2 which was sitting around having shot the Christmas tree for star effect on lights to see about star effect on sun. The sensor will show photosite feedback from flare if you shoot it at a really bright source and well, the sun is pretty bright. I could fix the flaws in Photoshop but left it in. Topaz exaggerates the effect. I'm posting the before topaz hdr and the single shot for comparison.  Call it Sigma enhancement if you will. I love the camera and its output.

 

Rainbow cuts through the clouds / Cloudbow / Fuji X-E1 / 35mm f1.4

 Winter sky is pretty bleak so I thumbed back to the summer and found some blue with white clouds and a nice rainbow cutting through. Mostly out of camera with a bit of toning and balance adjustment. The Fuji camera and lens is terrific.
