The new Sanford Consortium building construction at U.C. San Diego. HDR image, processed with 3 images at +2/-2 using Nik’s HDR Efex Pro.

Touring the yard today with my Nikon 105mm lens. This is fast becoming one of my favorite lenses from my bag. The performance of this lens is legendary and it never disappoints. Any mistakes are always mine. This photograph is a great example of the fine bokeh you can claim with the right background and aperture settings for depth of field. This was taken at 1/320 second, iso 200 at an aperture setting of f/3.2.

This is the center section of the newly opened Poway Veterans Park, Poway, California. This is a 9 exposure HDR using the tone mapping features of Photomatix. Some final adjustments in Nik’s Color Efex Pro and Lightroom 3.

Went to the Transiberian Orchestra concert today in San DIego. Awesome entertainment! Lights, sound, special effects and great Christmas music. Taken with my Canon G11, aperture priority and let the camera set iso because of the quickly changing light conditions. Processed in Lightroom 3 to take some noise out which softened the photograph a bit.
