Hearst Castle Garden Tour Shots

Earlier in the summer my girlfriend and I stopped in at Hearst Castle to take the garden tour. Here are a few of the shots that I took while there...

Casa Grande


The Wrestlers - HDR


Neptune's Nook


Blue Light Special - HDR


More info about the HDR's and a bonus pic of Hearst's throne on my photo blog @ http://anvilimage.com/2010/09/03/vacation-to-hearst-castle/ .

P.S. If you click a pic, they go big....

Nicely done. Your HDR processing is excellent.

The last one is great.
Won't mind sharing your gear?

Thanks for your comments!

@Canosonic: My gear? Shooting with a Canon 5d mkII using a an old, beat to hell Sigma 15-30mm (odd beast) that I grabbed off of Craigslist for $250. No tripods allowed on the tour, so all images were shot handheld. Well, not really for the indoor pool shot unless you count holding your camera on the ground under a railing as handheld...

There's more details for each HDR (both of 'em) on the blog post linked in the first post.

Thanks again!
