Christianity… Technology… Photography… Life Musings…
Monday, I went with a group of about 40 from our church and hiked up to Heather Lake. As usual I brought my camera along and took the HDR photo below. This one was taken with 3 exposures 1.5 stops apart. I find the results of HDR beautiful, but they are so much work!

“Life is not just a series of events… It is the road we are taking to reach a destination.”
Each year, our church has a time when anyone can share what events or thoughts from the past year had the most impact on their lives and looking forward to [...]
