wonderful photos!!!

i passed it onto some friends ... i love the perspective you capture ... often times it creates a real sense of actually being there rather than the usual 2-dimensional photos most of us post.

thanks richard :2thumbs:

[icthys]

Thanks, I enjoy your photos

[rockgremlin]

Very nice!! :2thumbs:

[DiscGo]

Those pictures are impressive. Good work!

[rockgremlin]

I think its my camera's fault that I can't shoot photos like that. :lol8:

His shots are of even more interest to me cause they represent many areas of my own "backyard."

[tanya]

Yeah me too. :lol8: I love those leaves!

It was a good autumn for me and color. Here are some more pages (not really officially posted yet) that I like for fall shine...

Awesome. I really wish that we canyoneers would have some photography lessons from some of the pros like Richard and Abby some time at a festival... I would really enjoy it. I know you need to have an eye for this stuff but sometimes following a master around can educate and open the vision for us desert rats. A little technique would be helpful also. I can see the beauty but capturing it is difficult. :hail2thechief:

You and your wife seem to see beauty in very common sights in the desert but have an incredible way of capturing it. Thanks for posting and letting us enjoy your work. :2thumbs:

Since I would love to advance to canyoneering, I think that's very doable.

One of the best things about shooting side-by-side with Abby is that even though we are at the same location, she and I often get different results. I look at her stuff when we get home and see things I didn't notice or shoot. I love the way she shoots - it helps my shooting stay fresh.

Abby doesn't shoot full time for a living like I do, but we have worked some commercial jobs together, and her contribution is irreplaceable. And she is an absolute joy to have by my side. She looks really cool with a camera, too, don't you think?

certainly ... sounds like you found your soul mate :2thumbs:

I've got a little experience behind the shutter myself. Just wondering, how much of the stuff that you posted gets posted up raw - i.e. absolutely zero cropping/photoshopping to correct lighting/tone/color saturation etc?

I have found that making the transition from film ---> digital both interesting and exciting because images that before may have been washed out or otherwise bland may be digitally manipulated to appear outstanding.

I've always been a pretty honest photographer. That said, I will add this: even in film days, every print I made had some kind of enhancement, be it contrast, burning and dodging, cropping, toning, etc. The digital age has only changed the levels of speed and convenience, not the character of my images. Most of the really beautiful color in our images is from the subject matter, and attention to light. Example here...

Forgive me if that muddies the water.

Wow! What a difference 15 minutes can make!!

[Cirrus2000]

Those are some fantastic photos. Nice equipment can also help to turn what you see in your mind's eye into a beautiful shot onscreen. Especially a good wide angle and a good telephoto lens. Point and shoots can be pretty limiting. For example, the classic self portrait shots - in yours you can see so much of the background, using a wide angle. I usually just get my left eye and one tree.

I wish I was more a morning person - then I could get the nice light at sunrise, too... That said, my next trip to Utah (Paria/Buckskin) will be end of February / early March, which means I should be awake for some nice light twice during the day...

Thanks for sharing the photos, Richard and Abby!
