This is my masterpiece of the week. It’s from last Sunday’s drive and was taken overlooking the Columbia river just off Manilla Creek Road. (Here’s the coordinates on the map). You can click the picture for a bigger view.
I did this with two, three shot HDR images of the scene stitched together as a panorama. The view was amazing. We stopped here earlier in the day, so I knew it had potential. We moved on, but at sunset came back for the shoot.

It was late Sunday night on the way home from bible study at my brothers house near Coulee City. I was looking west towards Waterville and there were so many stars. They live in the country, so the only artificial lights are on the horizon.
This was taken with my new Canon 5D MK II. This won’t mean much to non photo geeks, but I shot it at ISO 6400, Sigma 15mm Fisheye lens @ f2.8 exposed for 13 seconds and cleaned with neat image: The heavens delare the glory of God… Gav

I was honored to have recently been interviewed by Tommy over at the Pieces Of The Picture website. They have lots of cool photo related posts, and each Friday they do interviews with photographers.
Photographers can be so dry when being interviewed. I think they went easy on me. I tried not be boring in my responses, but I’m only human. How I did will be up to you, but you may learn a little more about how I tick. Check out the interview here and don’t forget to add their site to your read list… Gav
