I am always amazed by those street graffiti. This one is no exception. Found this Face Wall in Flagstaff downtown. There is another Face Wall in San Francisco.

Well. It’s been a while since my last HDR photo. I took this at the cloudy day at nearby neighborhood, where I took my first few HDR images.
HDR Image – Lake Houses and HDR Image – Trees
I was told the best HDR image target is the place or the object that has so much details and contrast. So here you go. We don’t have that much cloudy day in Arizona. So I have to take this opportunities to take cloudy HDR photos!
I think the above lake view is a little too blue while the one below is a little too yellow! What do you think? Your comment are well appreciated! Thank you for stopping by!

Are you tired of my Sunset Photos? You can try my Blue Sky or Beach Photos too! Honestly, it’s not an easy job to take the sunset photos. Especially, you are looking at the sun. The following photo are few of my favorite sunset photos, because of the right time and right place in Cherry Creek Ranch in Young AZ.
Here is closer shot with the rainbow and moon. It’s a beautiful day after rain!

It’s been a while since I post my last photo! It’s time to get back on track. I spent 3 days weekend with wife and friends at Cherry Creek Ranch! It was a great and relax trip. So here is the perfect sunset photo that I like in HDR. I think this is my newest favorite HDR photo I’ve even done! You can see the rain at far distance, which makes the photo a perfect one!

OK. OK. I promise there is no more Cozumel Beach For Two photos (See 1, 2, 3). Cozumel Beach is really a heaven for two of us. This is also the last HDR image I processed for Cozumel Beach. It’s the heaven when there is no one else on the beach. I wished I had full day to spend on the beach, so I can see the sunset. This image is so far the best HDR image I produced and liked. I know I can do much better job in the future. I have to admit that processing HDR image that has only few simple color is hard. You either end up with too much noise or too much shade.

This is so far my best wildlife photography. These are the photos I took on my Mexico Cruise vacation to Cabo San Lucas. On our way back to US, we saw so many wild dolphins in the sea. I quickly pick up my Nikon D70S and start shooting. I probably shoot about 70 images and only few are perfect. The following two are just my favorite shots.
It’s amazing how many dolphins are swimming side by side along the ship. They come and go in just few minutes. Looks like they just want to show off their natural skills.
It was a nice trip and I saw many things that I was not expecting in my life. Have you been to Cabo San Lucas?
I really like photos of Kids, because they are so innocent. Their facial expression often made me smile. They are the future. I took my niece Jassie’s photo at my uncle-in-law’s big house in LA in 2006. She is such a sweet baby and laugh maker. I do believe she will rule the world one way or the other. There are several shots in this post.
Which one you like most?
The following photo just make me laugh. She looks like the boss of big corporation. She rules everything. 🙂 This is my favorite one!
What a happy boss, isn’t she? She said “Let’s get the profit report. We are doing very well this year. You all are making me very happy!” 🙂
Once again, she proves she got the talent, skills and power to rule the world.
She is also very creative. She can play piano too!
All these photos are taken by my old Nikon D70S with flash light. I am really happy about the result. Without any retouching or adjustment, they looks fantastic. I was not really seriously interested in portrait photography until I got the Nikon SB-600 Speedlight flashlight.
Again, which photo do you like most?
Really. This is my all time favorite photo. It was a life time experience to hike in the #1 Yellow Mountain in China. The west sea trail is breath taking. I have no idea how people built the hiking trail on the cliff. I even wrote few blog posts about the lifetime experience of hiking in the Yellow Mountain.
It took us 9 hours to finish the hike. There is pretty much only two of us on the whole trail, because it’s so tough to bring the tourism to this area. We also enjoy 4 seasons in one day. Although we did not see the sun rise due to the weather condition, we had our best hike ever in our life. We survived!
This photo was taken by my Nikon D70S in 2006. I took about 1200 photos within that 9 hours. The truth is this. Once you hike in Yellow Mountain, you hike all the mountain in China. That’s why it’s the #1 mountain in China.
That was actually a scary hike. It’s a huge physical challenge to many people. This is also one of the reasons no tourism around here. If something happens to you, no one will be able to rescue you.
Here is another scary one! My wife stood on a little bridge. The bottom is 400m deep below and the summit is 200m above.
I highly recommend everyone to visit Yellow Mountain and give yourself a lifetime hiking experience.
Once is enough, twice will be awesome!
Read my blog post to see if you are capable to hike in Yellow Mountain.
