Little Church

Here is a scenic little church on top of a high hill in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This is next to the haunted Crescent Hotel. Eureka Springs is an interesting little town near the Missouri border. Plan to spend the day exploring.

Chapel

This is the chapel on the grounds of the White House Retreat in South St. Louis County. Retreats last several days and are held in silence. This chapel overlooks the Mississippi River on this cold foggy morning.

Choir Loft

This is the opposite view from the previous post. St. Cecilia’s choir sits above the entrance to the church along with the organ and it’s pipes. This photo was taken with my D7100 and a Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 lens. A tripod was used to take three photos and the settings were: 27mm, 100 ISO, f13Continue reading “Choir Loft”

St. Cecilia Church

Here is a nice wide angle view of the inside of St. Cecilia Church in South St. Louis. This is a three shot HDR photo (10mm, ISO100, D7100, f13) processed in Lightroom and Photomatix.

Planetarium

Our local Planetarium in St. Louis. This is part of our science center and they do a good job of lighting the top. This is part of the Christmas theme and there is even a bow!

Winter at the Boathouse

Even winter in St. Louis’ Forest Park can be very scenic. A walk around Post Dispatch Lake provided this view of the park’s boathouse.

A walk in Queeny Park

This is a view of Queeny Park in St. Louis County. The park is a favorite place to take my dogs for a long walk. On this walk we socialized with ten or twenty other dogs on the trail and saw a few deer. This is a three shot HDR photo processed in Lightroom, PhotomatixContinue reading “A walk in Queeny Park”

Kansas City Union Station

Here is another photo from Kansas City’s Crown Center Hotel (see previous post). I took this late enough that there were very few cars in the parking lot. Also, it was very nice of the Union Station people to use interesting red lights on the building. This is a three shot HDR photo using aContinue reading “Kansas City Union Station”

Downtown KC

On a recent trip to Kansas City, my hotel unexpectedly gave me a suite on the top floor. The room had sliding window that allowed me to open it and take this photo. Using a table as a tripod, this is a three shot HDR photo shot at an ISO of 200, f7.1 and anContinue reading “Downtown KC”
