Photowalking Colorado (and maybe some other places too)

Royal Gorge, CO

Looking down the bundle of cables that hold the Royal Gorge suspension bridge up near Canon City, CO.

The river below was 1,053 down.

Kenny and Karen

2009-07-14T10:58:00.001-06:00

So while this isn't technically photowalking, it IS a photo I took this weekend at a new place I'd never been in Colorado. This is the Cheesman Pavilion at Cheesman Park in Denver. A very cool place!

I have some more photowalking type shots I did while at the wedding, and I'll be sure to post those soon.

Charles de Gaulle Museum

2009-07-06T10:20:00.001-06:00

The Charles de Gaulle museum attached to Napoleon's Tomb in Paris was one of the most technologically advanced museums I've ever visited. It was very cool.

And it was empty. Absolutely empty.

Fishing in the Skye

Isle of Skye, Scotland.

Greyfriar's Bobby

2009-06-30T15:29:00.001-06:00

This dog was responsible for the term "fido".

The legend goes like this: this pooch stood by his master's grave for 14 years after his death. He became so well known, people started calling him "fido", short for "fidelity". Ever since, dogs have been nicknamed "fido".

Cool story.

Talisker & Me

2009-06-29T15:58:00.001-06:00

So we got this new golden retriever puppy, and he's just the right age to look like the movie posters from Marley & Me (even if not a yellow lab). So we decided to do our own version. Here's Talisker portraying the world's worst dog (though he's FAR from it).

Stairs

2009-06-26T10:59:00.001-06:00

This was our view down the stairs whenever we left our hotel room in Paris. Getting our luggage up those stairs was an adventure all it's own. I probably did a lot of wall damage trying to get my suitcase full of Scotch whisky up and down.

Hotel Champ de Mars

2009-06-23T09:37:00.001-06:00

This was the staircase leading to our room on Rue Cler in Paris.

Napoleon's Tomb

2009-06-22T13:09:00.001-06:00

The lil' guy is in there, encased in six different coffins nested within one another. His tomb was a very, very cool place.

3 exposure HDR.

Napoleon's Tomb

2009-06-19T09:07:00.001-06:00

Welcome to Napoleon Bonaparte's final resting place. It is very clear when you go here what France thinks of this man.

Scottish Graveyard

2009-06-16T11:09:00.001-06:00

Graveyards in Scotland are the coolest! There were many, many graves here older than the U.S.

This was a three exposure HDR taken in Edinburgh, just off the Royal Mile.

The Seine

2009-06-15T13:47:00.001-06:00

Now this is what I call the life. Hundreds of people hang out on the shores of the Seine River in Paris. I could get used to their kind of lifestyle, especially the food!

South American Art

2009-06-13T23:04:00.001-06:00

This head was about six feet tall and made of stone. Inside the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

Old Abandoned Truck

Mona Lisa

2009-06-10T11:51:00.001-06:00

The world famous Mona Lisa painting at the Louvre museum in Paris. Suffice to say the painting is quite the disapointment when seen in person. I can't be more than 2 feet wide.

Notre Dame in Paris

2009-06-09T13:19:00.001-06:00

Noisy as hell thanks to an insanely high ISO. No flash allowed. Shot at 3200 ISO.

What a beautiful cathedral though. It wasn't Westminster Abbey in London, but still very impressive.

World's Craziest Roundabout

2009-06-08T08:52:00.001-06:00

The roundabout around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This circle services 12 different streets, and it was NUTS.

Arc de Triomphe

2009-06-07T16:43:00.001-06:00

Another view of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Looking straight up from beneath.

This was a 3 exposure HDR image.

This was one of the better stops we made in Paris. This is a 3 exposure HDR.

Old Abandoned Truck

2009-06-05T13:46:00.001-06:00

Getting back to some Colorado photowalking, I went to a new place last weekend with a friend, not too far from my house. While there we discovered some old abandoned vehicles, including this old truck.

T.P. Under the Sink

2009-06-04T10:38:00.001-06:00

Yeah, our room in London was really that small.

Inside Versailles

2009-06-03T07:30:00.001-06:00

While in Europe we saw a lot of palaces. After a while it got a little old, and we found ourselves speeding through them a little faster. Then we got to Versailles, just outside of Paris. This is the grand pappy of all palaces. I went nuts there with my camera.

Edinburgh Castle, Scotland

2009-06-02T10:58:00.001-06:00

A three exposure HDR done from atop Edinburgh Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland. This place had medieval written all over it!

Worldwide Photo Walk - Fort Collins

2009-05-26T15:31:00.002-06:00

On July 18th, 2009 I'll host the Fort Collins edition of Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk. We'll be cruising around the Colorado State University campus. The walk starts at 4 PM and goes until we're all wore out.

If you live in the area, please come join us! It will be lots of fun. For more, and to register for the walk, visit the photo walk's web site:
