Taken on this summer's LD trip up into the Western Canadian coast. This photograph was taken during a Potlatch Ceremonial dance on the island called Alert Bay. These gatherings often include several clans and take place in spacious timbered lodges throughout the American Northwest. This young man's technique is being evaluated by the elder matriarchs of the clan. His movements are mimicking the eagle shown in the totem pole. The clan is led by women who maintain the reverence and respect of all on the island. © Bill Benson

I took this photograph on a trip to the Kenai Penninsula in Alaska. It is of a Russian Orthodox Church built in 1841. It also functioned as the first schoolhouse on the Kenai. There are 30 Russian Orthodox churches in Alaska. © Bill Benson

Made it to the Valley LATE last night. Beautiful day this morning. On top of that it’s nice to see some things haven’t changed.

Bill, did you colorize that photo?  How did get it to look that way?

Well...thank you for your question. I have been trying to provoke thought with much of my photography these days and your question is appreciated... please bring more... this is a "discussion" post... yes?   At the time I was experimenting with putting the camera on a tripod and taking several exposures (at different settings) of the same scene. In this case I took 3 shots and changed the aperture on each of these one "stop". Later, I "play" in photoshop by stacking the three exposures of the same scene and choosing what part of the scene works best with the three choices I have exposed for... so... shadows get one exposure choice, brighter areas a more appropriate choice...you end up with a scene that shows detail in both shadow areas and bright areas, impossible in a single exposure...In this case there was a strong wind making the clouds "ghost" as they moved across the sky...I chose the underexposed ( darker ) of the three shots and "blended" it with one of the brighter shots. This tended to accentuate this movement and the blue sky...voila... easy peasy...

Bill, I like the effect, I shoot at night in low light and expose for long exposures and bracket it.  I have not tried to combine the shots yet but I like how you achieved the look you got on this photo.

Thanks for the explanation.  Maybe we/you/somebody needs to start a new thread
on the line of "How I got that out of my camera".

Maybe a tad off topic but I think a explanation of what HDR is is in order.

A bit of technical information is needed.   All images are shot in black and white.   After the image is made there are different techniques to colorize them.   (with film either in the film itself or by added color during the processing)
The range from the very black to the very white is called grayscale.   In the early days of photography a long grayscale was 8 steps.   What that means is you only 'saw' 8 shades of gray from pure black to pure white in the image.  The film companies could and did change the chemical composition of the film to move the grayscale up and down the light response of the film/paper.   What that means is they could made a film more sensitive to low light but no good for sun light.  As film technology got better your could buy film with a long grayscale ie 16, 32, or even 100 steps between pure black and pure white.
Today's digital cameras  can have a1024 grayscale.  
 But, and here is were HDR (high dynamic range) comes in to play.    By changing the exposure you can move up and down the grayscale.  I.E. take one 'normal' exposure then 'over' expose by a few steps (this moves the gray scale up ie higher whites)  then 'under' expose by a few steps (this moves the gray scale down (i.e. lower blacks.)    Then either, by manual means or using a built in setting in the camera put all the exposures together.   This in effect increases the grayscale.  
I have two examples one is a short grayscale (few shades of gray) and one is a long grayscale (many shade of gray).

I'm not so sure NinA is asleep. There is a definite possibility that she is checking her eyelids for holes!   ;)

At first glance it looked like NinA was asleep on the warm pavement.  I was wondering how you photo shopped that. Good picture.

I must give the credit to Karen, she snapped this shot on her iPhone.  She has many shots of NinA as we pass state lines, in some NinA is sleeping and in some she is awake.  Her first trip was last year to Moro Bay GTG for four weeks and this year to Albuquerque Balloon Festival for six weeks.  NinA is now a big part of Karen's instagram account.  We love having her along with now as we go in our LD WonderLodge.
