A Fun Post...

 Canon 1DsIII
EF135mm f/8 1/320 ISO 50

So, what do you do while you wait for the glass company to come and replace your windshield?  If you're like me you sit at the computer and play with images.

EF24-70 (54mm) f/8 1/100 ISO 160

All the images included in this post are from our recent trip to Bluff Utah. We stopped at the Hubbell Trading Post located in Ganado AZ for a brief rest and to visit. The Hubbell Trading Post is a National Historic Site operated by the National Park Service and remains in operation. If you're in the area heading on Route 191 you really need to stop here to get a sense of history of the area.

I wanted to try a few things differently with the images from Hubbell and allowed my imagination to run wild.  All the images were processed in Photoshop CS5 and a combination of Nik Silver EFEX Pro and HDR Efex Pro (or both).  The images were taken either with the Canon 1DsIII or Leica M9.

The windshield is being replaced and I've finished playing. Our next post will be on the Comb Ridge area of Bluff Utah which will also include videos from our truck cam so stay tuned.

Thanks as always for visiting and please remember your comments and questions are always welcome.
