An Idaho winter

March 24, 2013 HDR, Landscapes No Comment

The winter months at the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013 have seen some of the most frigid temperatures and icy conditions in southern Idaho in a long while. With temperatures plummeting below 0F for a few nights and weeks of snowy roads around Boise, it’s been a challenge to take photos without frozen fingers! But I stuck it out a few times, thankfully – here’s a look at our Idaho winter around the Treasure Valley and Idaho City.

In the Land of the Panorama

October 12, 2011 Landscapes, Travel 1 Comment

It doesn’t matter how wide a lens you own. Sometimes when you’re faced with a gorgeous expansive vista, just one shot won’t capture the scene…and that’s where panoramas come in. I used to try to “stitch” all my panoramic shots together by hand to create the final product, but after experimenting with Photoshop’s automated Photomerge feature a couple weeks ago, I went back and redid some of my favorite collections. Enjoy (make sure to click the panoramas to see the large versions and get the full effect), and keep an eye out for part two!
