Augustin Bernal Park HDR Landscapes

This was my first time trying out HDR photography, and I know some of the results are not that good. :) But I hope you enjoy the photos! The photos were taken in RAW and later combined using Photoshop. In the photos you will be looking at an overhead view of Pleasanton/Dublin. Augustin Bernal Park is located in Pleasanton, California.

I hiked all the way up to the peak of the mountain to take photos of this. It's good exercise. LOL But it was so windy that day! There were like 30 MPH winds on the peak. :/ And I stayed there for 10 minutes taking photos. I got a slight cold afterwards. Oh well, I hope you enjoy the photos.

Full Resolution Photos and Prints: If you want to see full resolution photos or buy prints of any of the photos you see, they are up on my portfolio for viewing. To see my best Pleasanton photos of 2012, use this link. To see all of my Pleasanton photos of 2012, use this link.

Almost up on the peak, there is a giant flat area filled with weed and trees.  

A tree and a picnic bench on the peak of the mountain. There are some what I believe is cell towers on the higher peak.

Another view of the flat area. (Heading down due to the wind.)

Landscape of Pleasanton/Dublin. Pleasanton is closer, Dublin is off in the distance (I think). 

Another landscape shot from a different angle.  

This photo took me the most time in Photoshop as the trees in the foreground did not turn out so well. Took me a long time to mask and brighten it up. :/ I went hiking a bit late that day so the lighting was not that good either. 

This is all the photos for today. I hope you have enjoyed viewing them! Please don't forget to share the blog post with your friends!

A trip to Yellowstone/Grand Teton National Park (Part 19)

Hello! This is the pictures of my trip to Yellowstone/Grand Teton National Park. Not all pictures are of the inside of Yellowstone/Grand Teton National Park. I visited Idaho Falls, Mormon Church in Salt Lake City, and some other places along the way. :) So please enjoy!

你好!这就开始我的黄石公园照片了。不是每个照片是黄石公园的。我还去了很多路上的地方。请欣赏。

Full Resolution Photos and Prints: If you want to see full resolution photos or buy prints of any of the photos you see (except the a few photos of my friends and I), they are up on my portfolio for viewing. To see my best photos from this trip, use this link.

Today I have Grand Teton and animal pictures.

今天我有 Grand Teton 和动物的 的照片。

Before I get started, I would just like to remind you that I made a Facebook Fan page for this photography blog. You can "Like Us" here. I have also made Google+ and Twitter pages. If you follow or "Like" me on these, you can be updated whenever I post something new! :) Please invite your friends too! I'm trying to get more viewers on here. Anyways, as always, enjoy my photos!

The chipmunk is so cute. ^_^
花栗鼠很可爱。^_^
Photo taking tip: When zooming, use a tripod when you can. When I took this picture, I was actually pretty close by the chipmunk, so I didn't use a tripod. Use your judgement when shooting close-ups of wildlife. If you have time, use a tripod to steady your shot. If you don't have time or you are close enough, steady your hands and take the picture. Always take multiple pictures! You may mess up on your first.

Scenery

Inspiration Point from last time. LOL

Scenery
Photo taking tip: Half the time I take scenery pictures, I use a tripod just to steady my shot and make sure that I am level. Do what ever is best for you. Half the time, I'd get lazy and don't use my tripod, but some of the pictures turns out crap. LOL A monopod may come in handy...

The pictures after here is from Signal Mountain. From the heart of Grand Teton National Park. :) Why is it called Signal Mountain? You will find out in a few seconds. LOL
下一些照片是在一个景点叫信号山拍的。

Signal Mountain Scenery.
信号山的景色。

A cell tower on the peak! :D That is why it's called Signal Mountain. There was a sign saying Union Telecom on there, so you know it's a cell tower. Plus I had full signal. HAHA! 
这个山叫信号山是因为它有一个手机信号发射塔在顶上。塔上还有一个标记写着 “Union Telecom”。我的手机的信号在那里也很强。哈哈!(美国人取名字真懒哦。哈哈!)

景色

As we drove down the mountain, we saw a bear (2 bears actually). Not sure about type, but sure answered my question about traffic. ROFL!
我们开下山的时候看见了一只熊(其实看见了两只)。我不知道什么品种,可是为什么塞车的原因我知道了。XD
Tip: I can't say this is a photo taking tip, but... Please don't approach the bear when you are trying to take a picture of it. Stay inside your car to take the picture if it's possible! If the bear feels threatened, it will attack!

Next time, I'll be posting more Grand Teton pictures and pictures from my floating trip in Grand Teton.
我不太会翻译。:\ 下一次我会放更多的 Grand Teton 照片。
