Grand Union Hotel

The beautiful Grand Union Hotel in Fort Benton. I used Canon 50D camera with Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens. ISO-200 f/11 for 1/50 sec at focal length of 20mm. Contrast increased slightly in post edit. You just can not beat the character of these large old brick buildings.

Old Fort Benton Bridge

This shot was taken on a crisp calm 3 degree day. This is the old Fort Benton Bridge which now is used for foot traffic to enjoy the Missouri river. I used Canon 50D with Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens. ISO-200, f/11 for 1/160 sec at 20mm focal length.

I took this with Canon 50D and Canon 28-135mm IS lens. This was on a low hanging branch so I was able to walk up close at eye level and capture the fragile leaves. ISO-100, f/5.6 for 1/250 sec and 135mm focal length. I bumped up the contrast and color saturation a little in editing to add a bit of life back into things.

Tressel over the Frigid Missouri River. Canon 50D and Sigma 18-250mm DC OS HSM lens. ISO-100, f/4 for 1/500 sec and 31mm focal length.

Chilly Evening

Taking pics in Giant Springs park on a 10 degree evening was a bit hard on the fingers but worth the outting. I wanted to blur the falls and capture the fog on this shot so to save time I used the shutter priority option and set the value for 1/6 sec. The Canon 50D did the rest choosing an ISO of 400 and f/16, I had focal length of 35mm using Sigma 18-250 DC OS HSM lens. The low dusk lighting really ads to the brisk feel of the conditions.

night lights

I took this old bowling sign with Canon 50D and Sigma 18-250mm DC OS HSM lens. Shot with ISO-800 for 1/25 sec at f/5.6 and 95mm focal length on Slik Lightypod III monopod.

I started practicing some night lights shots down down. This corner diner sign was taken with Canon 50D and Sigma 18-250mm DC OS HSM lens. ISO-640, f/5.6 for 1/20 sec at 120mm focal length and using Slik Lightypod III monopod.
