    Me and my shadow

    Thanks! Looks like the vertical is the choice. I appreciate the feedback.

    On My Way Home Tonight...

    It's great to have a scenic route home. The reflection really helps this shot.

    Me and my shadow

    Thanks, Amy. Your $.02 is valuable. I'm inclined to agree with you. Would love to hear what others think.

    Me and my shadow

    Same photo; two crops. I'm looking for advice on these two crops of a Turkey Vulture and it's shadow soaring along a cliff in Zion National Park. Which shot is better at giving you the feeling of a bird riding the thermals? BTW, the bird is impressive in itself, but when I saw the shadow I...

    Old Farm Truck

    Wow! An old farm truck shot with no HDR!! I'm impressed - you resisted the urge to turn an old truck shot into a cartoon figure using HDR. :) :rolleyes: It's a very nice shot the way it is.

    Another Utah Sunrise

    Thanks everyone for the feedback! I agree. The view is pretty much straight south, and the sun was coming up off my left shoulder. The light hadn't reached the lowest canyon floors yet, causing the gradation you noticed. In this country, it seems that sunrise (and for that matter, sunset as...

    Another Utah Sunrise

    Morning light in the SW is fantastic. Thanks. Yes indeed, the light is great, especially at sunrise. It has one thing going for it over the light around here - it's clear so you can actually see the sun. :D

    Another Utah Sunrise

    I may have mentioned that you guys might be subjected to several of these Utah shots. ;) Here are a couple more from a diferent sunrise - this time shot from Grandview Point in the Island in the Sky region of Canyonlands National Park. As always, C&C is encouraged.

    Wildlife Safari, Winston Oregon

    These are all great shots, especially that bear - looks like it is grinning! You're getting pretty good with that long lens. I'm guessing you were shooting from the car. Did you have something to support the camera on the car window? I've only been there once - it was mid afternoon on a hot...

    Just a couple bends in the river

    As always, critique is welcome/encouraged! Rocky gave me the suggestion to check out Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River near Page, AZ. So here is my attempt at getting it all into one frame. It was shot at 9mm - on my Olympus 4/3 body that is 18mm "equivalent". And then - in the spirit...

    Dead Horse Point Sunrise

    Thanks, Dead Horse Point is a very special place. 40 years ago you could camp right out on the point - where the picnic tables are now. Then it was easy (easier, any way) to get great sunrise shots. You just woke up, grabbed your camera, and shot. The campground has been moved a few miles...

    Dead Horse Point Sunrise

    Another sunrise pano Here is another one from Dead Horse Point a little bit later in the sunrise. I'm not so happy with the way Elements 8 originally merged the sky on this one. :( I'll have to see if I can do something about that. [EDIT] This version should have a better sky - I hope!

    Dead Horse Point Sunrise

    Well, you actually are. The overlook is at about 6000 ft. elevation - about 1000 ft. above the nearest level of the canyon (the one where you can see the road), while the Colorado River is about another 1000 ft. below that. Thanks for the comments.

    Dead Horse Point Sunrise

    Back from Southern Utah. Here are a couple of sunrise shots from Dead Horse Point State Park looking out over Canyonlands National Park. This is a very special place even after an absence of about 35 years, it still takes my breath away. C&C encouraged! BTW - this is just the first of many...

    waiting for the sun

    I like this shot for it's moodiness. Hope you found some sun at the coast.

    Union Railway of Oregon trackage

    Union Jct, OR - The Union Railway of Oregon has been abandoned for several years, but rail is still in place. I wouldn't want to be the first train to try it now!
