I hope you have a great 2009! Here is a nice little one to get the new year started in fit and proper form!
I took this when I unexpectedly ended up spending a sunset alone. I was supposed to take an ATV over to another bluff to meet a bunch of paleontologists with whom I had spent the day unearthing a Hadrosaur from some Cretaceous mudstone formation. My forearms had never been so tired in my life after holding that hammer and pick for what seemed like endless hours of nerve-wracking excavation! After getting hopelessly lost on my ATV and having some mechanical troubles, I ended up near the border of Canada. Luckily, I had my camera equipment, so I slipped on my iPod and set up for the right moment.
Yesterday I updated my HDR Tutorial, and you might have noticed a shot from Lightroom with the five originals from this below the New York Times Square photo (which is a good one for the New Year!). Anyway, I thought I would share it because sometimes the other photographers that come here like to see the originals before they have been run through my algorithms… [edit: actually, looking at it closer, it is a "slightly" different perspective...taken about 20 seconds earlier... but, well, you get the idea... just picture it shifted over about 3 feet!]

Great shot, Trey. Just picked up the Canon 5D II. I may have to give HDR a shot; it’s not been something I’ve tried much of in the past.
Happy New Year.

That photo has so many meanings. If you just sit and think you will understand the depth of that picture.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! What a fitting picture, Trey, to start out 2009. Just beautiful. Let’s hope all our roads lead to better things this year. In my next life, I want to be an archeologist!!

Appears to be north of Great Falls. Love the picture and, if I’m right, it is a welcome sight that I haven’t seen in 17 years.

Happy new year! May the road ahead have no speed-bumps in it! Many times, you find the best things where you weren’t looking for them. Best wishes!!

Beautiful photograph. Hope you don’t mind, I used this photo as part of one of signatures for a mustang forum. Here is a link to the signature. I gave you full credit and placed a link.
You are truly an inspiration!!!
