Congress Bridge Bats - 7/23/2009 : Taken from the Northern shore of Town Lake in Austin, Texas. The final leg of my bike route this summer was clogged with people watching this event every evening. By chance, I arrived on the far shore of the bridge right as the bats started flying out. While I think the whole idea of thousands of bats living under this bridge is pretty cool, the actual event itself that people stand around for hours waiting for is pretty anticlimactic. It's just this steady stream of bats for a few minutes then they're all out. You just kind of stare at it for awhile until that "so THAT'S what a lot of bats flying around looks like" and then you're done. About the closest you can get to interacting with the process is standing under the stinky part of the bridge, right in the middle of the bike trail. This idea is far more popular than perhaps it ought to be.

Town Lake Kayaking - 7/11/2009 : Taken from the surface of Town Lake in Austin, Texas. I bracketed this entire set, but I ended up trying something new with HDRSoft's tone mapping plugin for Photoshop rather than the traditional (at least for me) HDR via Photomatix Pro. All the brackets were handheld, so there's a certain amount of sharpness lost in combining these that really takes away from the resulting image. To be able to achieve similar results from a single RAW means keeping things crispy. As it turns out, even on a brighy and sunny day like this one with harsh shadows, you really can captulre almost everything in a single 16-bit RAW. I caved and switched to HDR on only one image that had both very light sky and dark shadow. See if you can figure out which one!

Shoal Creek Trail End - 6/14/2009 : Taken at 31st St. and Lamar Blvd. in Austin, Texas. This inconspicuous intersection was the halfway point for my daily bicycle ride for a few months. This place feels as uniquely Austin to me as anything downtown or by the lake.

Barton Creek Greenbelt - 5/13/2009 : Taken on the Barton Creek Greenbelt in Austin, Texas. A day hike into the Greenbelt. I'm pretty sure I had my tripod, 'cause there's no way these pictures would be nearly as sharp otherwise. I think this was my final JPEG set before I switched to taking RAW, and the colors were pretty frustrating. Good riddance to that bad idea!
