Panorama taken with my old manual lens. 4 images stitched together. I highly recommend the multi-monitor version. The original picture is very wide and requires 2 monitors to fully appreciate.

This image was taken on a hiking trip in February of 2010, in the Painted Hills Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. I had just gotten a new camera so on my way back from Central Oregon I stopped to hike some of the trails and take some pictures. It was a nice and clear sunny day, and not too cold - perfect for hiking that area. I took this at the first parking area and trail.

The gray layers are mudstone, siltstone, and shale formed from sediments deposited on an ancient river floodplain. The black layers are manganese nodules or manganese stains. The red layers are ancient soil profiles (laterites) that formed on floodplain deposits. Surface weathering relatively quickly breaks down these rocks into a clay-rich surface coating that easily erodes during summer flashfloods and/or winter storms.

Taken on a cold winter day just west of Salt Lake City, Utah. Just west of Stansbury Island on the Great Salt Lake are evaporation ponds used to harvest salt and brine shrimp. During the winter these ponds are often full of water because the extra precipitation. The calm reflection and the salt buildup on the rocks in the foreground mixed with the clouds helps create a seamless bridge between sky and ground.

Isn't she a beauty? Took this on a visit at the Cologne Zoo in May. Just got my EF 70-210 f/4 and learned to love it.

A white tiger at the Singapore Zoo. This tiger was nice enough to sit still for me as I played with some camera settings.
