My partner Lauretta and I went to Utah in October 2009. We spent two full days in the portion of Capital Reef NP known as Cathedral Valley. It's the most fabulous place I have ever visited. Before we left I bought her a brand new Nikon D90 and the pair of kit lenses that came with it. The photos I took with my Nikon D300 have vanished in the ether. But I came across all the images she took on an external hard drive last week. They were all jpg shots and most had never been processed. Viewing these shots was like reliving that adventure with my best friend who passed away a year and a half ago. So I post these photos for three reasons even though I took none of them. First, the quality of these images is amazingly good with a 12 MP camera and the 18x105MM kit lens. Second, Cathedral Valley is an awesome place that is difficult to access but deserves to be seen. Third, I want the world to see what a great eye for photography my late partner possessed. I hope you enjoy viewing these images as much as I enjoyed processing them.

Indeed she had a great eye. Those are excellent images from a very nice camera but you and I know that without the skills no camera or professional lens will render the images that our eyes envisioned. I am sure that if I visit that place I will not do any better.
I only imagine all the memories these images bring to you.

Lauretta proved that kit lenses can be a cheap solution to photography and the quality is still there, just ask Sylvia our friend from the UK who is an expert when it comes to kit lenses. She also proved that a JPEG can also yield an excellent image and more so if manipulation in post is kept to a minimal.
Happy New Year.

Sorry for loss of Lauretta and these are as good as it ever gets......I had a D90 and loved it very much.

What a spectacular place to document. Thank you for your endearing story behind the images.
