I spent a bunch of time at the U of M Aquatics Center today watching my cousin dive in the State preliminaries. She did a great job. It is amazing how they can get their bodies to flip and twist like they do.

Took a bunch of flower shots over the weekend, and thought some of them needed a little bit of something to match what I was seeing out there. I decided to mess around in Photomatix a bit and ended up with the below. With the shallow depth of field the Photomatix logo really sticks out! Because of the resizing the image has become softer, so click on the image for a larger view; I’m considering sharpening the smaller images in the future.

Went out for a walk to the Minnesota State Capitol during lunch. It was nice since there were actually clouds in the sky today. I really should be out there right now as the sun is going down! I ended up masking out the fuchsia colored flowers in Gimp to keep them as originally taken, since they were already blurred they looked way out of wack after processing in Photomatix.

After eating lunch by the stream in Mears Park, I captured this image. I post processed it in Photomatix. I’m trying to decide if I’d like to purchase this program, so for now we will all live with the Photomatix watermarks. I hand held the three images it took to make this, so there were artifacts in the full-size image, but they all sort of disappeared when I re-sized it down. I think these will mostly go away if I use a tripod. Click the image for a larger view.

Was taking pictures in the park and looked up, and I thought this would be a nice picture of the bank and the clouds:

I bike past these big toys everyday and think they would be great fun to take for a spin.
