HDRs Redone - Multiple Places

I recently went back and redid some of my old HDR compositions into 32-bit ones for a more natural look. 32-bit HDR compositions usually look more natural and gives better color than a 16-bit HDR (which was what I was doing before) so I went ahead and redone all of them. Today, I am here to show you some of the new HDR compositions several places.

Wilder Ranch State Park in Santa Cruz, CA

Today I have photos I have taken at Wilder Ranch State Park located in Santa Cruz, CA. In my opinion, if you are heading to Santa Cruz, it is definitely a place to visit especially if you are on a tight schedule as the park is fairly small and you can view almost everything in probably 30 minutes (unless you slowpoke like taking your time with your photos). The ranch itself used to be a dairy ranch, but has long been donated to the state. Some of the historic buildings are restored, and is now a museum. The area is nice and scenic. There are some sheep, a large pumpkin field, and some really old Victorian Era style houses.

Message From the Photographer: I have started processing my Death Valley National Park photos but be aware this will take a very long time to do due to the huge amount of photos.

Only HDR I did at the park. This is of the pumpkin field and the sun is behind a cloud. Lucky for me huh? It would have lens flared really bad with out the cloud cover. ^_^

Buildings at the ranch 

 I'm guessing this is the barn.

Inside one of the barns. There are 2 cats in this photo, can you spot them? 1 of them is really obvious, the other one, not very obvious.  

The not so obvious cat in the above photo. It was on the brown horse drawn carriage on the right.   

 The cat on the left decided to climb up onto the white horse drawn carriage. 

More of the ranch.  

John Deere tractor in the park.  

 Chickens! I think they are just raised there to make the area look more "alive". 

Sheep in the park. 

It came closer. Yay! :D 

Several more horse drawn carriage.

Shuttle Endeavour Flyover at NASA Moffett Field (Getting Back at the Paparazzi)

On 9-21-2012, the space shuttle Endeavour made its last voyage from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to Los Angeles, CA where it will rest in the California Science Center museum. The space shuttle was flown attached on top of a Boeing 747 and has made its trip across several famous landmarks all over the United States including the NASA Moffett Field, Monterey Bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Endeavour has flown 25 missions, including 12 to help construct and outfit the space station, and logged nearly 123 million miles in flight during 4,671 orbits. It has served us all a very long time and has helped us further understand our unique and mysterious universe. For those who were not lucky enough to get to see it or wish to see it close up and relive the event again, here are the photos I took at the event at NASA Moffett Field near Mountain View, CA. These photos includes photos of the event, the space shuttle itself, the paparazzi groups, and some other stuff. I hope you enjoy viewing these photos! These photos will be split into several parts!

As you know the paparazzi has been taking photos and shooting videos of people, whether the person liked it or not, ever since the camera has been invented. It's time us normal people get back at them. ^_^ Here are the photos of the paparazzi groups (the news reporters) at the event. I wanted to get interviewed but they said no. :( Those jerks. ROFL I really wanted to be on TV. Alright, hope you enjoy viewing these "get back" photos! 

This is the CBS paparazzi group. The guy on the left looks so intimidating. LOL I also think he was the tallest guy there... It's not a distortion in the photo. HAHA He really is that tall. 

I guess this is one of the employees of NASA video taping the event. He got me on video, and I got him on photo. :P

The parking area for the paparazzi. Those antennas are really tall! 

 Reporter interviewing a visitor to the event. 

3 cameras set up from 3 different news stations. Those in the back are the antennas from the news vans. 

Saw a helicopter flying over head and decided to take a photo because I was in the high speed photography mood. XD Turns out it was an ABC news-copter. 

Alright guys, these are the photos of the news crew I took a photo of. If you see news crews next time, take photos of them. :P Please don't forget to share my blog posts with your friends! If you would like to get notifications next time I post, you can "Like" me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter and Google+.
