Palouse Falls HDR

I visited Palouse Falls in Washington today with my family. This is a really nice area to photograph, I would love to come when the lighting is better (sunrise or sunset) instead of middle of the day. Still I thought these photos turned out nice as HDR. There were trails going down to the river but I didn't do that this time, maybe next time.

Twin Sisters at Night

I visited the Twin Sisters rock formation along the Columbia River tonight. I had some trouble getting the photos to turn out well due to it being too dark to focus on anything. Next time I might try when the moon is out to provide more light to focus and reduce exposure time. My wide angle lens just isn't very sharp in these images, though it seems I captured a meteor. Photos taken during the daytime turn out well enough, still not very sharp, but they still look cool.

I switched to my 50mm lens for these next shots. The silhouette looks nice but I also like being able to see the rocks too. I believe that there is a satellite traveling through this photo (same image just darkened to form a silhouette). It would get bright then go dim as it traveled across the sky.
