i am so happy for you, that you got to do this trip! yosemite is someplace everyone should see, whether or not they make it “to the top”. sometimes the beauty is just in appreciating the moment rather than focusing on looking ahead. i am glad you had your moments. ox

Jack…this is a wonderfully crafted piece… It was a tough read, but no where near what the experience

Old Kurt! Yeah, too bad he’s gone and that the younger ones find him boring, dull or whatever. My first introduction to him was the movie Slaughter-House Five that was done back in ’72 I believe. After that, I ended up owning all his books over the years.

I loved this entry, Jack. Couldn’t agree with you more, especially the comment “Facebook reveals just how little they understand about the internet and it’s potential to follow them for the rest of their lives.” It’s amazing to me how so many people just don’t get that, or just don’t care. I don’t do FB or myspace or twitter or anything like those. For one thing, I don’t need the time suck that would undoubtedly cause (which I’ve witnessed with others I know who are obsessed with FB and the like). And, like you, I don’t feel the need to know all that much about the minutiae of the lives of friends, family and acquaintances. I have strived, fairly successfully, during all my years in the technical world to remain as anonymous as possible on the internet. It can be done.

That’s exactly how I’ve been doing it too, Jack. And I’ve tried both Photomatix and in PShop (I agree that Photomatix is easier).

I think I need a camera upgrade.

Hahaha…”need”.

Stan, does your camera support bracketing? If so, it’s a relatively easy way to get the three or more captures at different exposures needed for HDR. Photomatix makes a very good product for the tone mapping piece – I can combine images easily enough with Photoshop, but the tone mapping is where I hit the wall in terms of producing appealing HDRs.
