Michel, I've always wanted to goto Zion. Some great photos. Love the one peaking through the gap.
 
Rick, that's awesome! The dramatic sky with sun rays compliments the Dish pointed into space! What a shot!

Rick (I'm Rick also - with such name - you must be a really nice guy!) :-D:-):-P

A real beauty that shot Dez.My son has let me have his Nex 5n this week to play with I do find it hard to get my head around the menu but that said it is very clean ISO3200 is no problem.
Thanks Lee. The NEX cameras are very clean and deliver great IQ. I gravitate more to it than I do my LX7 or D300.

Dez, this is otherworldly. Beautiful and surreal. It's like the Dead Marsh in Lord of the Rings - where Frodo must pass on his way to Mordor. Haunting image.
Thank you Rick. The marsh was in total darkness. I used a LED flashlight to light foreground, which I think emits a bluish tint. It took several tries because it was extremely cold and windy & the blur was making most of shots unusable. This was the best of the set.

Nice image. I like the distant layering that the high viewpoint / low sun angle and against the light photography brings. The island seems to go on for ever. Good clouds too!

Hi Rick,

I like the thematic contrast between the (massive) antenna and the gnarly tree, particularly in the first picture in the series. On the shot of the big cloudy sky, some selective darkening of the sky might have helped to bring out the detail in the feathery clouds.

Good set all the same! Many thanks for running these threads - I do enjoy seeing all these great images - and I learn a lot from them and from the comments posted by the generous forum members. Great stuff.

Muck to like - thanks for dropping by and for posting. A feeling of stillness comes across and maybe the B&W treatment contributes to that.

Hi Lee,

Heavy skies! - Brooding...

I'm going to seek out this beach if ever I'm in that part of the country. I hope that reality doesn't disappoint! You achieve great results with that 20mm lens!

Nice shot Bruno - that snow looks lovely and.....cold!

(I won't be saying that in a month's time, when, if all goes according to plan, I'll be off home - where there are real seasons. Hopefully it'll be spring then!).

All the best,

Paul
 
Strange colour on the first stump Dez, almost like verdigris. These gnarly old stumps remind me of my home town back in Ireland, where the lowland peat bog just outside town yields old tree roots just like these. They are ancient pines really, but I've always known them as bog oak.

Stunning landscape and a great set of photographs. Beautiful.
