Eight camera raw exposure HDR merge. This photo was taken in the evening, just after the sun sank behind the opposite canyon wall, casting the falls into deep shadow. I shot eight exposures and merged them in order to get something close to the true sky color, while retaining the highlights and details of the waterfall.

Those cables you see near the top used to be a lift that would run up to a restaraunt at the top. While it was operating, it was one of the steepest lifts in the world. This waterfall has seen its share of rock slides and avalanches. It was decided that operating the lift was too dangerous. It hasn't been in use for years, but the cables are still there. Probably just to annoy photographers.

Hula hoops + beautiful park + pretty girls = fun!

I consider myself more spiritual than religious, but there are some religious icons that hold special significance for me, so when I got my new 50mm F1.8D (a bargain at $119), I decided it was time for my good friend Buddha to appear in my photo stream.

Here's the lens (photographed with my 18-135mm kit lens):

Description

This camera was purchased by me in October, 2006. I took thousands of photos with it over the next six months. It was dropped once onto concrete, which caused minor cosmetic damage to the mode/power switch. It is still functional, but needs to be pressed a bit harder than when it was new to turn the camera off.

This camera renewed my love for photography, and kept me happy until I upgraded to my Nikon D80, and started my full time career in photography. The S3 tends to have that effect on people. Most users seem to really love it. You'll find that for most uses, the great features like the 12x zoom, macro/super macro modes, and great video quality win you over easily.
