First Post

For the first photo on my new photo blog, I selected the cover photo from the 2011 "Bicycle Trails" calendar.  This photo is of the West Nishnabotna River bridge on the Wabash Trace Nature Trail.

Photo taken on a Canon Digital Rebel T1i, 21mm (18-55mm zoom) at F/10.  Three exposures (+ 1.67, 0.0, -1.67 EV) were combined and processed by Photomatix Light.

Once I set up some of the software, I plan to offer prints of these photos directly from the blog.

The "Trace" is an abandoned railroad bed stretching from Council Bluffs, IA to the Missouri border.  The bike is my Trek 4300 mountain bike.  In addition to the D-SLR for photo shoot rides, I generally carry my Point & Shoot camera in my jersey pocket.
