  • Day 35. August 12, 2010. See comments for previous photo.<br /> <br /> This was almost a discard since the smoke was blurred. But after transforming to b/w, this turned out really well. There's a little excess smoke in the top-left that I was thinking about cloning away, but decided to leave this completely without processing (besides converting to b/w).<br /> <br /> 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro @ f/11. 1/20s. ISO 100. 580EX II from camera left and above match tip, 1ft away, at 1/8 power.
  • Day 44. August 21, 2010. Standing on Barcroft Peak, looking at White Mountain Peak. Gusts topping out over 50mph. 13,040 ft. A little winded after hiking up this thing after having slept at Barcroft Research Station at 12,470ft, and doing badly acclimatizing while going through a cold and continuing nosebleeds. The views were spectacular. And the bluest skies I've ever seen.<br /> <br /> EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 @ 10mm, f/7.1. 1/500. ISO 100.
  • Day 45. August 22, 2010. This was at the Schulman Grove, halfway down. Along with the Patriarch Grove slightly higher up the mountain, these bristlecone pine forests have some of the oldest trees in the world. The Methuselah Grove within the Schulman grove contains the Methuselah Tree, which has been dated at over 4000 years.<br /> <br /> EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS @ 24mm, f/11. 1/200s. ISO 100.
  • Day 49. August 26, 2010. While walking down Bryant St. in Downtown Palo Alto, I found this gorgeous leaf on the ground. By evening when I took this, it had already dried up somewhat, but it still retained most of its bright colors. I soaked it in water for about 5 minutes, then placed it on a black cloth. There's a weak, diffuse on-camera flash, and a moderate flash from behind the leaf to the right that shines through the leaf. Burned bottom right corner in post-processing, and sharpened.<br /> <br /> EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro @ f/3.5. 1/125s. ISO 100. 580EX II at 1/64 power, 430EX II from behind right at 1/16 power.
  • Day 60. September 6, 2010. Even though I took plenty of shots of the standard DC sights, I promise to not bore everyone with my copies of those same cliched pictures. So, here is another location on the National Mall, but one that gets much less lens traffic. This is the concourse connecting the East and West wings of the National Gallery of Art. The giant matrix of lights on the walls are densely packed, almost like an LCD screen, and generate mesmerizing patterns as you move down the moving walkway. There was another lady taking shots at the other end. Neither of us had a tripod handy, so we had a good time brainstorming ways of improvising camera supports.<br /> <br /> EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 @ 13mm f/9. 1/20. ISO 1000.
  • Day 83. September 29, 2010. My backyard work area. Unfortunately, I routinely quit working after some time, and take a nap instead, after strolling into the garden to eat some tomatoes.<br /> <br /> EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8IS @ 28mm, f/2.8. 1/100s. ISO 100.
  • Lost Coast - Massive rocks keeping sentinel near the north end of the trail on day 3.
  • Lost Coast - Sunset at end of day 2.
  • The advancing edge of Glacier Perito Moreno is 5km long. <br /> <br /> (Because of craziness with color profiles, this photo viewed best (as of 2012/12/29) on IE9+ (no, seriously). Otherwise, you may not get all the colors.)
  • A mile into the trail, it already looks like paradise.<br /> <br /> (Because of craziness with color profiles, this photo viewed best (as of 2012/12/29) on IE9+ (no, seriously). Otherwise, you may not get all the colors.)
