Vacation Photos - Day Two

We were up early this morning to see the sunrise on the valley. The wheat harvest is close but not quite ready. The weather has been pleasant, but it is going to turn hot. This is something the crop needs to finally ripen.

This photo is taken from 1/2 mile south of our family farmstead (the trees and buildings on the horizon. The day dawned clear and cool.

Vacation Photos - Day One

Following Cat and Darren's wedding party Debbie and I hit the road to southwestern Nebraska. We are here to visit with my Mom who celebrates here 76th birthday this week.

This first image was taken just after we arrived Sunday evening. The skies were overcast from thunderstorms to the west. As the sun set it came out under the slate colored clouds to paint everything in a glorious light.

This is a new technique that I am trying. It is several underexposed images stacked together in Photoshop to heighten the color and reduce the noise from one high ISO image.

Congratulations Cat and Darren

Cat and Darren held a very special event yesterday at Lake Shawnee in Topeka, KS. They celebrated their life together by recommitting their vows and celebrating with their friends. The images are still in the camera, but will start popping up soon!

(More to Come!)
