Simple Tree
I really liked the shape and simple composition of this tree on a hillside outside Avoca, AR.

Soon Come
Liz
(Photographed by Travis)
In Jamaica they have a saying "Soon Come". Basically when a Jamaican says that you never know for sure when he will turn up. They live by a different sense of urgency than we do. They don't understand or accept the concepts of appointments or punctuality and simply refuse to get in a hurry. Maybe that is why they almost always have smiles on their faces.
Jackson (as we know him until Liz changes her mind again) will be here soon. Until then, we are patiently waiting and are hanging out close to home.
Our thoughts and prayers are with our friends in Jamaica. We hope they have safely survived Dean without much damage to their homes and businesses.

Boston Round
I subscribe to several photography magazines and every once in a while you run across a pretty cool idea. In the September issue of Popular Photography & Imaging magazine they have an article about how to convert a 360 degree panorama into a round image. The Boston pano was not a 360 but the effect worked out ok and is especially impressive in high resolution.
Of course, I am not the only one to read this magazine and I have already seen a few like a Shanghai image from the Stick in Customs HDR blog.
Handheld HDR Image
The juxtaposition of the Old City Hall framed by the new sky scrapers creates a striking composition. The range of light between the clouds and shadows is too wide to be captured in one exposure. To record this image I took three exposures two stops apart which were combined using Photomatix HDR tone mapping software.

Edge of Boston Harbor
Here is a cool view Faith and I found while we were in Boston a few weeks ago. This view is from an abandoned military fortification in Hull, MA about 30 miles from downtown.
