It is truly beautiful country; can't wait to go back. Here is another shot I forgot to include with the group

I agree, I pushed all of the shots a bit to far. Part of the learning process. Thanks for your input.

Thanks Sirius; beginning to catch on to PP using plug ins.

Some shots taken several years ago, but recently began applying PP.

Yes, you are correct on all points. I've been to the Davis Mountains many times and also Marfa, but never had the luck to see the Marfa Lights. For the past two years I've attended the Cowboy Gathering (music and poetry) at Saul Ross College in Alpine. Quite an interesting experience.

Thanks!! I'm also in the ranks of the retired.

Thanks Jay; glad you enjoyed.

Mike....Missed part of your question regarding a weeks vacation. Yes it would, especially considering the long drive each way. A stop in Del Rio may be a welcome break. Hwy 90 from Del Rio to Marathon then south to Panther Junction. If you are there for a week, a drive to Terlingua, then Lajitas and then on to Persidio is a nice day trip along the Rio Grande river with nice views and interesting things along the way.

Mike...I think it is about 500-600 miles from Dallas area taking IH 20 until you reach Monahans then go south through Ft. Stockton continuing south through Marathon on to Panther Junction park entrance. The lodging in the park is in Chisos Basin. Suggest you make reservations well in advance, because it is a popular site. It's a long drive, but well worth it.

Glad you enjoyed. I've visited many times in the last 37 years. If you go back to the National Park, you may also go want to visit Big Bend Ranch State Park. Roads are rougher, so not as easy to get around as the Nat'l Park, but really beautiful.

Thanks donrent. There are a few times when it can be interesting in color, especially at sunrise and sunset. I shot one of the Window right after two days of high winds. The dust in the air created a great sunset. I may post in a day or two.

I have a friend who recently purchased a 1V3 and cannot convert using his version of PSC5. He tried using the DNG converter that Adobe has on its website, which includes the 1V3, but it didn't work. When he attempted to convert, he got the message, " No Images Match Your Search". Anyone have this experience and suggestion, other than subscribing to PSCC.

Stargazer, thanks for the encouragement. During the film era, I had a darkroom and B&W was all I did. When I started in digital I did more color until my wife said how much she enjoyed B&W over color. Now I do both.

I'm new to UHH and this is my first post. I became interested in photography many years ago in the file era, but didn't do a lot. In the past couple of years, I began shooting in digital, and last year began learning PP using LR and PS. After viewing the good works posted on UHH, I realize I've got a lot to learn. Attached are photos I shot last year in Big Bend National Park. (I hope I sized then correctly). All shots were hand held using a Canon 7d with a Canon 17-85 lens. All comments and suggestions on how I can improve any aspect of my shooting and PP are welcomed.

Jim....Thanks for the information. I also bring my files from camera to Lightroom and PS, but my computer is a PC. I gather from your response that the other software you use for the beautiful results you achieved is not available for PC. Am I correct?

Thanks again,

Lou
