EnlargeThis shot was another HDR that was shot on a Nikon D3, no tripod. Just around the corner from the beach town of Costanoa in California.
The resort was great — friendly staff, nice rooms (with Aveda products) with comfortable beds (no TVs in the rooms, nice plus), breakfast was good. Highly recommend Costanoa for a weekend trip.

Another shot, shot on a backup camera (Nikon D200) while in China. This is Chuxiong’s pagoda, which is about 8-9 stories high and allows one to view a 360° panoramic view of the city, nestled in the mountains of Yunnan.
Here is a shot of the famous lighthouse right up the road from Costanoa on the California coast. It was shot with a Nikon D3, again, using HDR by using three photos. No tripod was used, but because it can shoot up to nine NEF (raw format) pictures per second, shots like these turn out okay.
Just got back from Costanoa and we took this shot of the sunset. There was some sort of movie or television production going on right behind us at the lighthouse.
Used Photomatrix Pro to HDR merge the levels, using a Nikon D3 — I think we shot five NEFs, bracketing the exposure by .3 to .5 each stop — so that would take about 1/2 a second to shoot five photos.

Just got back from China to visit the parents. I noticed a lot of newly paved roads and shiny crosswalks. My brother Tom came along this time and brought his Nikon.
Here is a sunrise shot we took at a secret location in Yunnan.
Also, look for a very special follow-up video soon.
