Sunrise
It's not Russ's view, wish it was, but it's not bad. Here's what I saw to the east this morning:
Amazing how the sky changes so quickly in just minutes, and the mist starts creeping up in the canyons:
Finally the airplanes heading for LAX start to show up:

Great photos, Ken... .. Just where are you.. ..
Don\'t mess with the old dog...... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! Brilliance only comes with age and
experience.....  ....  ....
Are you getting the most out of life OR is life getting the most out of you ??
Twenty years from now you\'ll be more disappointed by the things you didn\'t do then the things you did.

Appreciate that KASHEYDOG! These are HDR images, that's what gives them that "painting" effect.

"HDR" stands for "High Dynamic Range". I don't fully understand all the technical details, but in digital photography it is a technique that brings
out the fullest range of colors and textures available in any image. It is done by bracketing, taking at least three images of the same scene at
three different exposures. In these images I took one at the "correct" exposure (the one the camera thought was correct), then one 2 stops
overexposed and another 2 stops underexposed. The three images are then processed with commercially available software. I use a program called
"Photomatix". It can also be processed in Photoshop, but I prefer the results in Photomatix. If you overdo it it can look kinda gaudy, cartoonish,
but done carefully it can produce some really beautiful effects, similar, I think, to what the eye actually sees.
carpe diem!
