Tour Eiffel || Canon EOS 40D/12-24mm | 1/160s | f/10 | ISO 100 | Tripod

Lisa and I spent a week in Paris and had a fantastic time! Lisa was so very patient with me. We’ll start off the Paris photos with a simple one of the tower and the fantastic clouds we had one day.

Snow Against Red Rock || Canon EOS 40D/EF70-200mm f/4L USM +1.4x | 1/125s | f/5.6 | ISO 100 | Handheld

As part of our trip, we camped just outside of White Pocket for two nights, two very cold and windy nights. The second day, it snowed. For a while in the afternoon it had stopped, so I ventured out on the 1/4 mile hike to White Pocket to try and salvage the afternoon by getting a few shots. Not long after I got there, it started again, so I huddled under an overhang and tried to wait it out, this is one of the shots I got while cowering away from the elements.

One of the most fascinating things about White Pocket was the sections of thin rock. I’d love to have had a geologist there to help explain how it all happened. It was difficult to capture this on camera, but some sections looked about as thick as cardboard.

Light Around the Corner || Canon EOS 40D/12-24mm | 1/2s | f/8 | ISO 100 | Tripod

I loved this scene in the canyon, the light was coming through much stronger around the bend, and the wall in the foreground was still in the shadows. It almost feels like if you turn it 90 degrees to the right, it could be an abstract sunset behind the mountain.

Arrowhead || Canon EOS 40D/12-24mm | 1/6 | f/8 | ISO 100 | Tripod

My dad and I have been in Page, AZ for a few days on a field trip put on by the Wasatch Camera Club. This past Thursday, we went through Lower Antelope Canyon and it was fantastic. This is one of the many shots I’ll likely be posting over the next while from my trip to Page, AZ.

After looking at this, I decided to call it Arrowhead, this isn’t an official name that I know of, but it looks like one to me!

Schwabacher’s Landing – Cropped|| Canon EOS 40D/12-24mm | 1/8 | f/11 | ISO 100 | Tripod

A few months ago, I posted a shot at the Teton’s, Schwabacher’s Landing and Heather suggested cropping out the right corner. I had thought about doing it and just got around to it while I was browsing my images. So here it is, and I dolike it a little better this way.

If I am there again, I’d get there earlier and I don’t know that I’d use a graduated neutral density filter since I’m don’t like how the reflection is brighter than the sky.

Cape Cod || Canon EOS 10D/12.0-24.0 mm | 1/45 | f/11 | ISO 100 | Tripod

This is from our trip to Boston. Lisa and I rented a car for the day to drive down to Cape Cod and it was quite a day trip. The sky was murky and didn’t make for a great color photo, but after converting to sepia tones, boosting the contrast, and adding a vignette it turned out to be a nice image. I submitted this one also in this month’s camera club competition and took first place in the open advanced division.

Post processing done in Adobe Lightroom.

Metate Arch || Canon EOS 10D/12.0-24.0 mm | 1/125 | f/11 | ISO 100 | Tripod

This is a shot from a February trip to Bryce Canyon. One of the days we went on a bit of a drive to see Devil’s Garden in Grand Staircase Escalante State Park, we got there just before sunset. I took several exposures and used HDR and other post processing to give a more accurate picture of what it looked like when I was there.

I entered this in the Wasatch Camera Club competition in the assigned category “Foreground Framing”. It took first place, and Best in Show award (a first for me). I’m pleased the way it turned out. Another image I entered in the open category also took first place, I’ll post it another day.

Snowy Bryce || Canon EOS 10D/28.0-135.0 mm | 1/3s | f/11 | ISO 100 | Tripod

Two years ago I was at Bryce National Park, the day we came home, it snowed. It was cold, but neat seeing these usually warm places dusted with snow.

Sparkle Flowers || Canon40D/EF100 Macro | 1/400s | f2.8 | ISO100 | Tripod

Another image from the Frelinghuysen Arboretum in New Jersey. I used off camera flash with a snoot to provide the narrow beam of light down the middle of the photo, I like how it made the flowers sparkle.

Camel on the Giza || Canon10D/EF28-135@28 | 1/180s | f11 | ISO100 | Handheld

Not my favorite time of day to be shooting, but I took what I could get! Oh, and if you ever get an offer to sit on a camel, make sure you’ve negotiated the price BEFORE you get on, otherwise, it makes it hard to get off!
