Las Vegas Eiffel Tower


This is a three shot HDR image of the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Paris Hotel and Casino. We then converted it to black and white.

This image really did work in color, but we felt it could be better in black and white, and it really does seem to work, especially the clouds.

The Casino So Nice, They Named It Twice...


Here is a 3 shot HDR image of the New York New York Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. This was shot right outside the M&M shop by the MGM Grand.

The New York New York Casino is really something, the theme all around the casino is of the city of New York, from the Statue of Liberty outside, the the Central Park theme on the casino floor, and top that off with a very fun roller coaster outside and you have a really fun casino.

If you look closely in the right side of the image you can see a star, who knew that they appear in the middle of the strip with so many lights around.

Diamond Head


This is a one shot HDR image of the Diamond Head volcano in Honolulu, Hawaii, this was shot from Waikiki Beach.

Hawaii provides so many great sunsets to shoot, while we were here we made sure to be out on the beach for quite a few of them. We stayed here during the start of December so the beach was not super crowded. As a result this image here did not require the need to photoshop out very many people.

Sun, Sun, Sun, Here We Come


This is a one shot HDR image of a boat on Waikiki Beach getting ready to head out into the ocean. The sun was setting soon and we got a nice sun ray, and some nice diamond looking reflections off the water.

This seemed like a fun excursion to go on, it was a bit of a party boat. Head out to the ocean, have some drinks, come back. What better way to spend a sunset in Hawaii?

Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water


Actually the water was pretty calm on this night. This is a one shot HDR of a rock walkway in Waikiki, in Honolulu Hawaii.

This is a really popular spot that people like to walk out on and take in the sunset, along with take some photos. If you wait long enough though most disappear after the sunset and you can get photos like this. There were about 2 people in this photo but they were easy to take out.

Doom and Gloom


This is a one shot HDR, and was then converted to Black & White, of downtown San Francisco. This was shot from a boat coming back from Alcatraz.

The day started off very nice and sunny, but on the way back from Alcatraz the weather changed to a gloomy feel. Converting it to B&W really brought out the gloominess of the day.

I Want To Be Big


For anyone that remembers the old Tom Hanks comedy Big, this is the Zoltar machine that he made his wish on to be big. This is a one shot HDR image of the machine, which helped to bring out some of the dark areas of the machine.

We found this in the middle of the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. This was setup in the middle of a classic car display. We tried making some wishes but sadly none of them came true like they did for Tom Hanks, lol.
