Photo of the day 5/2/11 – “I Think He Underestimated the Cavalry”
“I Think He Underestimated the Cavalry”
I underestimated how savable this photo was. It was way overexposed and harsh looking out of the camera. But I’m glad I took Steve’s advice and didn’t delete it. At least my underestimation wasn’t fatal.

Even though there is nothing spectacular about this photo, some challenges from the original got me to play with some features of Lightroom I had not yet played with. And so, jolly mission accomplished.

“Unpretty”
In between monsoons today, I went for a walk on a nature trail. I’ve been doing this more and more as my appreciation of nature grows. (The 1000 and 2011 goal doesn’t hurt either.)
One thing I notice more and more on my walks is litter. Some there accidentally, some probably there intentionally, and some definitely there carelessly. But unlike the past, I didn’t just walk by it. I picked up a bunch. But there is a bunch more. Next time, I’ll bring a bag and leave the camera home.
So here is some of it in today’s photo of the day. Raw, and not prettied up.

Every now and then I get to work in the Minneapolis office. For years I flew there, but this time it was cheaper to drive. Of course, I had to bring the camera.
I love cities, and having the car allowed me to discover some cool parts of this one that I didn’t before know existed. Here’s a view from one of those.

“Foreign Landscape”
Even after having been to seven other National Parks in the past three years, Joshua Tree National Park took me be surprise. Perhaps much of the reason so was because nearly every part of it was foreign to me. No evergreens, leafy trees, or anything remotely recognizable from where I live or the other National Parks I’ve been too.
About the photo:
While I botched up the shot, I still included here as it still gives a sense of the place, and it reminds me of my experience. This photo was taken at the end of what is probably a pretty untypical day in April; it was in 50’s with on and off light sprinkles to a steady rain. It should have been in the 80-90’s and probably clear. So to get this shot with the sun peeking through the dark clouds behind us it probably pretty lucky.
