Balloon Classic Invitational (North Canton, Ohio)

T.J. — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 18:18:39 +0000

I got up early this morning and went to the Balloon Classic Invitational in North Canton at the Kent State Stark Campus. This was a combination of a Balloon Launching Site and Target Site. First they launched approximately 18 Hot Air Balloons. After the launch the field became the target site for at least 50 balloons, I lost count. The pilots in the ballons tried to drop bean bags on the field as close to a “X” as possible. This was quite a site to see this many balloons approaching one location.

Photos are below or you can see hi-res photos in the Balloon Classic Invitational (North Canton, Ohio) (2010-08-01) album on my PicasaWeb Photo Album.

Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk — Downtown Cleveland

T.J. — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 13:23:20 +0000

I participated in the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk yesterday. I went to the Downtown Cleveland Walk. This was my second year doing this, you can see last years post HERE.

On our walk we were able to get to the 44th floor of the Terminal Tower. This is an outdoor observation deck which is normally closed to the public. There are not any barriers except for a railing between you and the ground.

After we left the Terminal Tower we checked out the Downtown Area and ended up with lunch at the Harry Buffalo.

You can see the rest of my photos below or check out hi-res versions on my Worldwide Photowalk (2010-07-24) Gallery at Zenfolio.

There are also Flickr Groups set up for the walk where you can see other walkers photos. Check out the Worldwide Photowalk 2010 Downtown Cleveland and the Scott Kelby’s 3rd Annual Worldwide Photo Walk – July 24, 2010 Groups.

Storm Aftermath

T.J. — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 01:53:55 +0000

We had a severe storm roll through this evening. After it rolled through we were presented with this wonderfull orange sky.

Impending Storm

T.J. — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 02:48:49 +0000

NWS issued Storm Warnings and I was outside looking at what was coming our way. I thought it might make a nice photo so I ran inside and got the tripod and camera. This HDR photo was created by blending 5 photos into 1 using LR/Enfuse.

The images used to make this HDR are below.

Trail @ Quarry Rock Picnic Area

T.J. — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 15:31:50 +0000

The boys and I went on a very short hike at the Quary Rock Picnic Area of the Cleveland Metroparks today. This trail is above the Chagrin River. There is a very steep dropoff to the river. The reason the hike was cut short was because my oldest son decided that he needed to clean out his shoe. He had stones in his shoe. In the process of doing this he dropped his shoe over the edge. We tried to get to it but could not fromt he top nor the bottom.

The photo was taken HERE

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Visit

T.J. — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 18:21:02 +0000

The boys and I went back to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo today.

They have as special exhibit going on now called “the scoop on poop!“. It was interesting. :)

They also have the Dinosaurs again this year. This is a major draw for the kids as they love dinosaurs!

Photos are below or if you want to see hi-res versions go on over the PHOTO GALLERY.

REDUX ….. Trip To Northfield-Macedonia Cemetery

T.J. — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:18:21 +0000

The other day I took a Trip To Northfield-Macedonia Cemetery and the photos previously posted were standard one shot photos.

BUT, when I shot these with the intent of trying to do HDR on them. So I took them at all of them with 5 shots of each, -2 EV, -1 EV, 0 EV, +1 EV, +2 EV. The revised photos are below.

I ran these photos through LR/Enfuse

If you want to compare them to the single shot photos you can find all of them side by side on the photo gallery HERE. You will 2 shots of each, the first should be the HDR, you will see it noted in the caption of the photo.

I am happy with the results as I was able to get a lot of detail into the clouds and shadow areas.
