David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Views of the sky. Sunrise, sunset, clouds, and weather
Sunset at Sea from the deck of the M/V Explorer. Image taken with a Nikon D800 camera and 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 100, 122 mm, f/11, 1/200 sec).
Into the Vortex. North View Star and Jet Trails with a Bonus of a Meteor Trail. Summer Night in New Jersey. Composite of 442 images taken with a Nikon D3s camera and 16 mm f/2.8 mm Fisheye lens (ISO 800, 16 mm, f/5.6, 30 sec). Images processed with Capture One Pro, and the composite created using Photoshop CC (statistics, maximum).
Back then, I still had a lot of trees right next to the house, and one partially blocked Polaris, the North Star. Most of the trees are gone either to disease or the “mile a minute” invasive vine. I am now looking into putting some solar panels on the roof.
Painted Canyon Panorama. Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Image taken with a Nikon D3 and 85 mm f/2.8 PC-E lens. Composite of 9 images using AutoPano Giga. With and without using the Kolor neutralhazer filter. I know that there are several dehaze filters now available (DxO, Photoshop, Lightroom). This was one of the first going back at least four years. The individual images going into the panorama are included below.

Star and Jet Trails Looking South. It rained Sunday night, and after the front came through we had very clear skies last night. Composite of 240 images taken with a Nikon D810a camera and 14-24 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 200, 14 mm, f/5.6, 60 sec). Raw images processed with Capture One Pro, and the composite generated using Photoshop CC (statistics, maximum).
Pastel Sky at Dawn. Composite of 13 Images taken with a Leica X2 camera and 24 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 125, 24 mm, f/2.8, 1/30 sec). Raw images processed with Capture One Pro and the panorama generated using AutoPano Giga Pro. The program had a bit of a problem the the dark right bottom corner. To take the images I pulled over to the side of the road and took the pictures holding the camera out of the driver side window. I haven’t used this camera for a while, but keep it with me in the car for just this type of opportunity.
