Thanks for the help. I am still learning.

Like many of you we had a little snow last weekend. Our snow compared to the Northeast was piddley. We had between 8-10", more than our normal total. The snow was beautiful and it gave me an opportunity to workout my Nikon.

Beautiful tortie. I get to photograph our shelter kitties every week to help them find a home. Really fun.

I am amazed at the old photographers here. D76 and Acufine were my standby for speeding up the "ASA". For the high quality photos I relied on Microdol-X. I am so thankful for digital. Maybe my fingernails will grow back.

These are not standard by any means. I think they are excellent. You may not want to describe them as fall shots but, the drama that you put in these is really good.

Good capture. I agree with some of the others that the vignette is a bit heavy. Probably could stand to lighten the face of the dog, it begins to blend with the background.

I went in April this year to both of the slots. I found that the Lower one is much better for photographers. Being on a "photographers" tour we got a guide that was very familiar with most digital cameras and was a great help in getting the best color. I would recommend a prime lens 28mm or wider with the widest aperture. As someone else said a tripod is required for the Photo tour. You will be glad. If you have a remote trigger I would also think that would be a help, otherwise you can use your camera timer.

As for "Horseshoe Bend", stay with the widest lens you have. I learned here several months ago here on UHH to take a monopod. Best suggestion ever. To get the view of the entire bend you can lay on your stomach and hang your head and camera off the edge or putting the camera on a monopod and shooting from it being extended over the edge.

I really do envy you going into the Page area. This was one of my favorite place to see on our trip.

As a former manufacturer I can really appreciate your comment.

Really do enjoy your landscapes. That fellow looking over the bluff wouldn't be at Horseshoe Bend would it?

Beautiful collection. I particularly like your sunset shots.

Nice shot and a spectacular place.

Were you able to get to the "wave"? The colors in that area are beautiful.

Everyone has to have a first time to post and this is mine. Here was a beautiful hike in Glacier.

I have been lurking here for several years enjoying all of your work and comments. My back ground is an old film photographer from the 60's. You may not be able to still smell the darkroom odor but if you look close enough you may still see the tint on my fingers. I am so happy for the digital age of photography, that yellow light drove me crazy anyway. Because I started with Nikon SLRs, I still use them. My camera of choice at this time is the D810 as a backup I have a D700. There is enough glass in my bag to do almost anything I need. Since retiring last year, my wife and I enjoy running, hiking, biking and RVing. We have been lucky enough to make a couple of great trips, which I hope to share some shots on soon.
