Lucchese Boots at Allens

Dave Wilson — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 01:04:40 +0000

I've not posted a cowboy boot picture in a while so here's an archive shot taken in Allens Boots on South Congress Avenue here in Austin last year.

Aria Hotel Towers, Las Vegas

Here's another infra-red HDR taken in the City Center development in Las Vegas, Nevada. This shows the towers of the Aria Hotel.

Reflection Abstract, Las Vegas

Dave Wilson — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 11:50:04 +0000

This is an abstract, infra-red HDR. Does it get more convoluted than that? The scene is from the rather fabulous City Center development in Las Vegas, Nevada and it was shot using an IR-converted Canon Powershot G9. This particular camera has a colour conversion which I tend to find yields rather odd results (they're great if you like orange images) so I pretty much always colour-shift the output or downmix to black-and-white as I've done here.

Spaceship Earth, EPCOT

Sticking with the Disney World theme, here's a dramatic rendering of the Spaceship Earth building in EPCOT. Until I visited Animal Kingdom, I was definitely of the opinion that EPCOT is the best part of Walt Disney World. That's probably still true but Animal Kingdom comes pretty close these days too.

Grand Floridian Reflection

This image was taken during our June trip to Walt Disney World in Florida and shows the view of the Grand Floridian hotel from the beach outside the Polynesian. this was taken a bit later than it should have been but the sky still retained enough colour for it to work.

Shadows on Adobe, Santa Fe, New Mexico

Dave Wilson — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 11:44:36 +0000

Side lighting, exposed beams and adobe make a great combination. This image was shot near midday in the Santa Fe summer but the light angle worked beautifully to bring out the texture in the adobe and to cast great shadows from the exposed roof beams.

Sculpture and Adobe, Santa Fe

Dave Wilson — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 11:55:41 +0000

Santa Fe is a wonderful city – great architecture and great art. I tried to capture an element of both in this image which shows one of the downtown adobe buildings through an opening in an Allan Houser sculpture.

This image is an HDR but you can find a slightly different, single exposure version over on Flickr if you would like to compare.

Threadgill's Jukebox, Austin

The jukebox at Threadgill's Restaurant on Barton Springs Road in Austin, TX. This was our gathering place following the Austin World Wide Photo Walk a week or so ago.

Shiny Motorcycle Engine

I love shiny stuff in HDR! This was a handheld image shot at the Austin Kite Festival earlier this year.

Capitol from Alamo Memorial

Dave Wilson — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 13:01:19 +0000

Here’s one from the archives which I’ve had queued up for about a year but left to post on a rainy day. This is the Texas State Capitol (as if you hadn’t figured that out already) shot through the Heroes of the Alamo Memorial. This monument has the rather embarrassing distinction of having about half its inscribed names spelled wrongly. It also has 47 names on it which don’t actually appear to relate to people who fought at the Alamo. So much for fact-checking.
