David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Views of art from around the world
Fall Aspens near Ashcroft a Ghost Town in Colorado. Image taken with a Leica X2 camera (ISO 100, 24 mm, f/16, 1/125 sec). Raw image processed in Capture One Pro 7 and Photoshop CS 6.
Petroglyph or Graffiti? Aztec Butte in Canyonlands National Park. Image taken with a Nikon D700 camera and 50 mm f/1.4 lens (ISO 250, 50 mm, f/16, 1/60 sec).
I passed through Moab and Arches National Park as part of my Gone To See America 2006 driving tour. Little did I know that I would be visiting Arches National Park on the same day of the year two years later. Keeping the people in the image gives an idea of scale.
On this trip the images were taken with a Nikon D200, and only saved in jpg format.
Street Photograph of Bicycles in Motion in Bruges. There are lots of bicycle riders in Belgium. My goal was to photograph them with the bicycle and rider in focus with the background in motion to give the viewer the impression that the bicycle was moving. You need to focus on the rider and keep moving the camera to keep the subject centered for a long exposure (~ 1/15 sec). In normal daylight even at f/16 the image is overexposed. You can use a filter. On this day the sky was cloudy, and I could just get away with a 1/15 second exposure. I think I had a 1 in 10 success rate for the day to get these 5 images.

Sunrise and Sunset in Antwerp and some random images in Brussels. At one point I was chased away from a chocolate shop for trying to take a picture of their window display. Belgium Waffles and the famous Manneken Pis bronze statue.
