This is an 8-shot HDR photo of the Hoover Dam I took in February. I took this photo from the new Mike O’Callaghan – Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, which affords an incredible viewpoint of the dam for anyone willing to walk out on the sidewalk. Just don’t look down, especially if you have a fear of heights.

I took this photo at roughly the same time as my other photo of the Gates Family Bridge in Cambridge, VT. This photo was a 7-shot HDR.

Please consider helping those who were impacted by Hurricane Irene. Thousands of Vermonters are homeless, and many of them are cutoff from traveling due to the destruction of roads and bridges all across the state. Without roads, homeowners are cutoff from rebuilding their homes, and many will be unable to get deliveries of heating oil or gas in time for winter.
If you can, please consider donating to some of the many charities supporting Vermont relief efforts for Hurricane Irene:
Vermont Red Cross
Mad River Valley Community Fund - The Mad River Valley was especially hard-hit by Hurricane Irene, with destruction hitting Waitsfield, Warren, Moretown, and Granville.
The United Way of Chittenden County is acting as the fiscal agent for the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund.
#VTResponse - A site for those who have the time or resources to help Vermonters, first hand.
I really wanted to capture the Arc de Triomphe in a new and less traditional fashion. Most photos look at it squarely - seeing it as an arch or portal. I knew that I did not want that look, but I couldn’t have told you want I did want until I had some time to explore it.
The Arc de Triomphe is huge - bigger than most people realize. I kept thinking about it as a giant stone monolith, and my photo tries to capture that thinking. The perspective I use is less about an arch and more about the incredible mass of the object.
I used HDR in the post processing - combining three photos into one in order to highlight the beautiful afternoon light against the darker sky.
