]]>Seriously. How lucky am I? What amazing beauty is found in our hillsides and mountains during the fall!

Ice and Blues

]]>I went out searching for interesting ice images... I found this chunk balancing precariously at the end of a tiny twig. I love the colors that showed up behind it, and the details in the ice that came out as well.

High Altitude Aspen

]]>I am just so lucky to get to see such beauty. I know it, for sure. This image struck me with the amount of leaves which have fallen from the aspens into the waiting arms of the pines... Plus the banks of aspens turning in the background... I loved this little tree and enjoyed catching it in it's fall glory.

Lines and Organics

]]>I was shooting around an elk farm near my home and I saw this scene... I was struck by the mixture of created lines and organic, flowing shapes. It was an overcast day and I wanted to get the details exact, so I went with an HDR to get as much light and texture as possible. I love the clouds, the wood texture, and the tree in the midground... fun! Black and white because it just looked better.

Snowy Tree and S Road

]]>A foggy view from my yard after our recent snowstorm. This was a 7:30 am. By noon, it all had melted. So I was glad to have caught this image! HDR, with some textures added in the sky and lots of photoshop tweaking.

Snow Covered Trees IR Glow

]]>It snowed at my house this week. The wet snow managed to cover everything with this delightful coating of white. My neighbors trees, seen here, got the best look in the neighborhood. I'm glad my kid dragged me out early to show me the snow or I would have missed this! Finished with PhotoTools help, and a partial layer conversion to infrared really helped to show the otherworldly glow I saw. I softened this one and sharpened the next... let me know which you think is better!

Cat Print in Snow

]]>As it becomes spring here, I was reminded of this image. For all the cat lovers out there- and for my cat.

Ice Crystals on Flower Head

]]>This is the last of my current ice crystal series, and while the color and tone is similar to the other images, I did crop it much more so that you can see the detail more clearly. I also did a version using the onone software that I am trying out, and I'll show that when it is time. I like this image but need to work on the dark center of the flower more... at the moment this is what I have, though.

Ice Crystals on Grass Stems

kelleybard@yahoo.com (Kelley Bard Photography) — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 04:44:47 GMT

]]>3rd of my ice crystal series. Another image of delicate ice crystals growing on dormant winter foliage in Colorado. The background and blur was caused by several things- a very short depth of field (shot at f2) and the HDR process when 3 exposures of the same scene were combined together.

Ice Crystal Sheet on Grasses

]]>Part of my series of ice crystal images, 3 exposures taken and processed as an HDR image, alowing the full beauty and delicacy of those crystals to be shown. FInished in Photoshop.

Ice Crystals on Flowers

kelleybard@yahoo.com (Kelley Bard Photography) — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 02:18:07 GMT

]]>We have some mighty tough flowers here in Colorado... but these ones take the cake. They decided to start growing ice instead of petals! HDR from 3 images, processed in Photomatix and Photoshop.
