sunsets (iphoneography)…
I’ve been able to capture some decent images with just my iphone, but I haven’t shared many of them on my site here. Usually they just end up on twitter, facebook, and Google+. With this post, and hopefully many more in the future, I will share a few candid images that I have recently captured.
The image below was a blend of two images, using the Pro HDR app for the iphone.
Sunset in Albuquerque, New Mexico, looking east as the Sandias turn pink. Taken with iphone 4.
The next image below was also a blend of two images, again using the Pro HDR app for the iphone.
Looking west, the sun sets in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The image below was edited with the Snapseed app on the iphone.
Sun sets over the Albuquerque, New Mexico area, bringing brilliant colors to the sky.
Double Vision: Dualing Tacomas
It’s been a long time since I have updated my site with any photos, and I thought I would add some that I captured on Friday. Overall my camera hasn’t been getting much use the past couple of months, but over the past week or two I have been trying to make a solid effort to shoot with it more frequently. Here’s some images of my Tacoma along with another belonging to a colleague of mine (Tony Camacho). Side by side, they looked great together in the office parking lot. Since I took these in broad, mid-morning daylight the light was a bit contrasty and harsh, making a perfect opportunity for some HDR images. Most of these were comprised of 3 to 5 exposures using HDR Effex Pro and Aperture.

a jaunt down to the river…
After a day shift on Sunday, I headed down to the Rio Grande for some photos of the cottonwood trees. They were just about at peak color, with some brilliant yellows found on many of them. I meandered along the Paseo del Bosque trail and a bit to the west of that bosque channel to meet up with the river itself. All of the following images were taken within the last hour of sunlight, the “golden hour”, but because the river valley sits at a lower elevation some harsh shadows are quickly cast from the higher terrain farther west. This poses some interesting challenges when exposing photographs due to the very high range of lighting from the blinding low sun and the dark shadows. I tried to get creative, and came away the following shots.

September 15 time lapse
This is a brief time lapse video that I put together using footage from September 15, 2011.
September 15, 2011 Storm Time Lapse in New Mexico from Todd Shoemake on Vimeo.
This was one of the last active days across central New Mexico during the monsoon season. Decent shear was present, and I chased a couple of storms, one of which exhibited some brief rotation. The time lapse was constructed from several still images taken with my DSLR (taken about every 8 seconds). I then put them in sequence using a combination of iMovie and QuickTime Pro.
devilish imagery…
I captured a few images on my brief trip to Phoenix/Tempe this week. I was there for the 6th Southwest Hydrometeorology Symposium held on the ASU campus, so some of these images were taken on campus.
