To papagolf21: Racing away
Dear Philippe,
I enjoyed the rush of the water churned by the hidden and not so hidden rocks. However, any noise made at this location was drowned by the roar of the Chocolate Falls as the...

To ifege: Papago Ponds
Hi Ian,
It was a dawn expedition to the park as I wanted to test out my new (albeit used/"previously owned") 16-35mm lens. Obviously, I'm happy with the results, though I'll give the sun, clouds,...

Hi Jean,
It was a great morning to be trying my new (albeit used) lens for the first time. The clouds, sun, and landscape cooperated in the process making it an enjoyable outing.
Thank you for...

Hello Jimmy,
Yes, to the north and east of the San Francisco peaks.
I agree, the Grand Canyon is a major lure pulling visitors north and to it, but I'm now finding many more places to visit in...

To drt100: Pushed by the sun
Hi David,
I debated whether or not to post this photo due to the amount of sun streaks and dots. In the end I decided I liked the effect and posted it. Of course, by that time, I'd been opposite...

To jemaflor: Grand (Chocolate) Falls 2
Hi Jean,
Yes, the color is amazing and unbelievable until you arrive. Then, after you pick your jaw up, it's time to get to work with your camera. I'm hoping to get there when the water flow is...

To ifege: Grand (Chocolate) Falls 2
Hi Ian,
Apparently the color is constant whether or not it's directly after a storm. My trip was 4 to 5 days after the last storm and, if I remember correctly, down to about 16 cu ft/min.
I'm...

To drt100: Grand (Chocolate) Falls 2
Hello David,
It's something you read about and even see photos of, but until you're there it's hard to believe the water really is that color.
Thank you for your critique,

Hi Jean,
Thank you for your kind critique. It was kind of the rowers to align with the sun's light river on the lake. It was a beautiful morning for photography.
Warm regards,

Hi Ian,
I'll blame the lens, not the photographer. :)
I did try to balance the need for greater exposure in the shade against blowing out the highlights with a mid-range f-stop, but probably...

Hi Jean,
I'm glad you like these views of the Grand Canyon. In this one I was worried that the rock on the right dominated the image and considered cropping the photo to a squarer format.

It's an amazing place to visit, one that seems to demand days, not hours just to view, much less choose the locations and times for one's photos.
