Views from Atop the Eiffel Tower

You can't go to Las Vegas' version of Paris and not visit the top of the Eiffel Tower.  Here are the photos I took, overlooking the Vegas Strip.

First a Panorama shot

And now the 3D photos:

Branching Out - just a little

While I love, and still have a steep learning curve concerning 3D photography, I thought I might just try something new since getting my new camera.

Tonight Linda and I went for a walk with our dog and I took the camera with me.

First I tried a Panorama Photo, hoping to capture the subtle colours of the evening sky:

Next, my first attempt at an HDR photo.  HDR stands for High Dinamic Range.  You take a number of photos at different shutter speeds resulting in a set of photos ranging from very underexposed to very overexposed.  You then take these into a photo manipulation program and it take the "Best" parts of each photo to give you a result which contains detail in both the high and low light parts of the scene.  Here is my first result.

Of course, I just couldn't go out and not take 3D so here are the photos I took on our walk.

Comments always welcome.

A Little About Me and Why I Created This Blog

I am in my upper 50's and have been playing with photo manipulation for over 15 years now.

About 8 years ago my family decided to visit "The Grand Canyon" and that is where this whole 3D thing started.  I didn't want to go and take the same old photos everyone else was coming home with.  Rather I wanted to try and capture the "essence" or "magnificence" of this great wonder of the world.

As I surfed the web I came upon this whole cross-eye 3D photo method of taking photos and I quickly became hooked on the whole idea.

Since then we have been on a number of vacations including two cruises. 

Upon returning from each of these cruises I would visit the cruise chat forum called Cruisecritic.com and write my review of our trip and include some of these 3D photos.  People on this site seemed to enjoy them to the extent that I decided to design this blog and let anyone who wished enjoy them.

A hobbie, or passion, is more enjoyable when shared with others. 

I hope you find something here you enjoy.  Your comments are always welcome.
