Love the photos...you've moved Havasu falls up closer to the top on my bucket list. Was this an individual hike or did you take a "tour" How did you land there at sunrise?

Beautiful set! I helped build some commercial greenhouses in Utah back in 1985 and couldn't help but notice you have some unusual features in your photos....clouds. In the five months I was there, I saw clouds and rain twice. Usually the sky was clear and sunny.


most of the shoots were under solid bkue skies....We were extatic to have a few clouds...made cloning out those dust spots easier! Thanks for the compliments. Can't wait to see more of the southwest.

I just knew I should not have opened this site. Being from the 4 corners area of CO, a long long time ago, have traveled thru the Moab area many times. and so much want to return now that I have a decent camera and time to use it.


My situation too. I had been there with a friend and a point and shoot. When I heard Robert was doing a workshop there I signed up! Love Utah. Thanks for the comments.

I've just returned from a photo workshop in Moab, Utah. I say Photo Workshop...but my thighs are screaming BOOT CAMP. The scenery was awesome....the pancakes delicious! With over 1500 photos to process....here are a few finished photos.

Let me ask you a question - are the images you are posting images you think would sell by being online? If they are, you are going to wait a long time for a check. The little boat is not really interesting at all, the turkey is not composed well and is waaay too busy. Is it a shot of a log with a turkey behind it or a shot of a turkey with some stuff around it? If you want a photo of a turkey, the bird needs to be dominant in the image. You need to be a LOT closer and lower - looks like you were standing up when you took it.

Go to iStockPhoto.com, type in Wild Turkey and see how it is done - and what you have to compete with.

The white bird (Egret?) is a nice shot-good composition and it looks like there is detail in the white. But the angle is not good as it is going away from you and the head is dark with no light in the eye. It is, however, by far the best image.

I am not trying to be harsh, but realistic. And you did ask.

I understand Captain, I don't expect anyone to blow sunshine in my ears, I am just starting to venture out on this for the first time, so I know I have a lot to learn. And I figured that coming here with some of these pics was a good idea to seek advise on making a photo vs a snapshot.

As for the tom turkey, I had to shoot this one from my pickup at dusk, and he was a good distance away. As you might know about turkeys yourself, they are extremely skittish, and would have been gone like a fart in a hurricane if I even thought of getting any closer. Perhaps I could have cropped the pic, but I thought the log complimented the tom as it would be part of his environment, but I can see where it might be a distraction. I guess I will need to save up for a longer lens or one of those telephoto lenses that multiply the zoom. My lens is a 55-300mm Nikkor DX VR.

I have the same lens....and the same complaint about "soft" focus. The lens is sharpest between 80mm and about 135mm with the f between 8 and 14. I wasn't pleased to read the reviews on the lens....but for price and low weight there is always a compromise. Read the review on slrgear.com Nikon lens. As I've read before....it's all about the glass....and great glass is pricey and heavy.
Keeping the limitations of the lens in mind, I was able to get some amazing photos...fairly sharp...out in Utah last week.
Keep shooting

Nice shots---#1 looks like chocolate taffy, great now you've got me wanting a sugar fix. Keep the photos coming.....


Thank you...those canyons are really amazing, as are the changes in Lightroom 4. I've had a great time reprocessing previous shots. I'm heading out to Moab, Utah in 2 weeks...can't wait to see what the new camera and new pp produce, Both of which will only be possible if I hear my alarm clock in the morning.

I like your 2nd & 3rd shots, very nice. wish the 3rd was a tad lighter but just my opinion. :D
looks like a nice, quiet place!


thanks, yes I agree....it could be lighter...I just don't want to blow out the clouds any more than they already are.

I've just upgraded to Lightroom 4...amazing the new capabilities. Just thought I'd post a few. The camera has been spending way too much time in the backpack because of April showers. I'm heading out to Arches National Park for a workshop May 12th so I thought so I thought I'd reaquaint myself with some rock photos.
