Are these digitals, or images?.....

[renodesertfox]

OC, they are digital images capture with a Canon 50D at 15mp per images. I exposed then in the RAW format which entitles the photographer greater latitude to play with them. I then processed them through Adobe Camera Raw 6, the latest edition of RAW format , then processed through a process called HDR tonemapping to expose the luminence values in the highlights and shadows as separate images. Then I blended these separate images together through Adobe Creative Suite 5 with has the latest software for image re-generation available into what you see. It's almost like 3D but it's still two dimensions. Neat! Thanks for looking.

The Biggest Little City In The World

Here's the landmark sign, lit-up at night! It really is amazing that we live within walking distance to downtown Reno, yet we are far enough away that we never hear the din of crowds and gambling! Thanks for looking!

Truckee River Night

We're standing right next to the main street running north to south that goes through Reno. The street is called Virginia, we are looking south across the Truckee River to the old Riverside Hotel which is now called Artist Lofts Apartments. It is interesting that most of the highrise buildings along the Truckee River are old casino hotels that have gone bankrupt and have been turned into apartment dwelling. There are a lot of people that have apartments here in the winter because of the ski slopes in the Lake Tahoe area. Thanks for looking!
