Orlando, FL – Disney World (HDR)

Disney-World-HDR_Talke
Been a while since we lived in Florida. I miss heading down to Disney World every few months. We now have Disneyland here in SoCal…I think Disney World is a bit better. But SoCal has CA Adventure! I guess I should be happy either way…many people love to vacation in both spots…I have had both within 30 mins of my house. Hope you are enjoying your summer….only a few weeks left!!

From the lovely city of Innsbruck, Austria…near the shopping center this day I was walking around looking for something to catch my eye. I walked past this alley and had to capture the moment. If you are ever thinking about travel into Europe…Austria is one of my fav countries. Innsbruck, Vienna, Salzburg are some amazing cities!

Yorba Linda, CA – Nixon Library

Nixon Library_Talke
If you come visit my hometown…a must see is the Nixon Library. The tour is decent, but the view of the reflecting pool is tough to beat! I posted an IR version of this shot a while back. This is the normal view. Both very cool! Enjoy!

Riverside, CA – Infrared

Riverside Infared _Talke
From Riverside, CA…near the Mission Inn you can find this Chinese Pagoda. Thought it might look cool in IR. I added a little “Oil Paint” effect to the shot and masked the pagoda for a different look Enjoy!

Austin, TX – Austin Java (HDR)

Barton-Sorings-HDR-SW
When I lived in Austin, I drove past this view tons of times and had always said I would stop and grab a photo. We left Austin last summer and then went back for vacation a few weeks ago and had to finally take it! A nice Austin-style location…Austin Java. Nice to have checked it off the list. =)

Fireworks!
