Thanks for the complement....no I didn't throw the sand...our guide did. You'd never know from the px...but there were probably 15-20 photogrphers all crowded into two spots...each about the size of a parking space with limited head room. We had 90 seconds to set up...tripod wars insued...3-5 minutes for photos...then we had to clear out so the next group could set up. An amazing place....even with the crowds.

I had some free time to go back and fine tune a few photos from the canyons out near Page, Az. C&C welcome.

It's a great shot, almost looks like the deer is trying to hide herself against the door. I would increase the vibrance, increase the blacks ever so slightly and bring up the clarity. I don't think it needs any cropping. Good work.

bummer dude

[quote=SQUIRL033]i realize offering to sell photo prints to other photographers is kinda silly, but if anyone here would like a print of one of the images i've posted here on UHH, please PM me and let me know. i'm suqi will send PM

Dude.....no px's

the latch on a mailbox? I'm impressed... I never had enough coffee before the bus came to get the camera AND the 4 kids to the bus....great shot

Samantha,
Shortly after buying my first DSL, I took a photography workshop in Maine. The photographer was highly recommended...and I learned how to shoot in the manuel mode, with confidence by the time the workshop was over. I was able to leave the workshop with some amazing photos. We were up at 4am for sunrise, had an early afternood processing lecture...hands on, then out to shoot in sunset light each evening. It was the best money I ever spent. That being said, I've been on other workshops that couldn't hold a candle to the first experience. If you go a route similar to mine...be sure to talk to others who've taken the workshop. If you'd like you can PM me for info on the workshop I did. He has one coming up in April/May in Utah. I plan on going with my new camera.

Ivan..I love #2....great result.

I've done 2 photography workshops so far...one was fantastic...in the 5 days I learned how to shoot in manuel mode....the second was so far under par it was a crime....had it not been for the other participants (and the Arizona/Utah landscape) in the workshop, the whole event would have been a complete wash. I'm all in favor of participating in an event..LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION.....and a few old timers....count me in!

Lose the beer...it makes the photo look like a Coors ad. Otherwise good work.

love the shots....especially #2....what a treat.

Wow, beautiful shot....what were the settings?

Your amazing micro photography is not included in these comments.....it's the bees with only one leg in focus....

:)
