Okanagan Lake in November


Between work and picking up my daughter from school I had an hour, so I headed over to Kinsmen Park.  It's one of my favorite places to go, as it's always so quiet.  The sun sets pretty early, and this was just towards the beginning of it.  It wasn't so spectacular in person, but just the process of capturing the image brought out some excellent color.  I love it when that happens!

Mission Creek


Mission Creek HDR, originally uploaded by scion46.

Once of my favorite places to wander in Kelowna, I shot this a while ago. It's three exposures combined to bring out more detail in the highlights and shadows, usually known as HDR or High Dynamic Range. For my first attempt I'm fairly happy, but I've figured out a few tricks for next time.

Not having much time to shoot right now means that I'm going back to photos I've made previously, putting in a little work to those that would benefit, and working on my editing skills. I'm also studying up on posing my subjects, to help them look their best in front of the camera.
