Grand Canyon (Sigma 15.2.8 FE) Grand Gulch (Rokinon 8/2.8) Eagletail Mountains

If in the next few years it will hopefully be an opportunity to pick up a few more lenses and a backup body at a nice price.

I couldn't be more pleased with getting constructive feedback and being able to use it.   A little fine tuning and to me much better.

What I meant was signal on the sensor vs. having all channels blown out. There probably is not any detail, but there is a color of the sky and if you have the all channels exposed when you change ...

I agree it is not the center of attention compositionally, maybe it could or should be and otherwise there really isn't one - in that regard the middle or mid distance of the image has little of ...

It is rarely a good idea to cut off the top of a peak so I made it the foreground instead :) This is in a side canyon of Aravaipa Canyon, AZ Hope you enjoy (Feedback especially if it helps improve ...

If you are coming into Flag on 89 you could consider the scenic bypass starting at Wutpaki NM at the northern end and coming out at Sunset Crater NM south end.  It certainly takes longer as it is ...

You have the idea right, but need to underexpose significantly to get more signal from the sky, then pull up the very deep shadows.  Or multiple exposures. If you do that when you change the tones ...

Thank you, that is nice to hear that such a feeling was conveyed. I do love the open deserts and Kofa is certainly linked in many ways and can be seen as the next major ridgeline over from the ...

From the far eastern end of the Eagletail Mountains Wilderness in AZ.  The return leg of a lengthy loop hike takes one below this ridgeline for a few miles before back to the truck. There is not ...

The Mazatzal Wilderness in AZ is one of my go to places when it is too hot in the lower deserts. After rains there is usually flowing water in the drainages making a great day hike for the family. ...

That looks a lot more like a eucalyptus than a banyan.

The first is preferred since it feels most level, but otherwise the seem the same. If you are going to tilt the camera up make sure it is level and be prepared to correct for keystone as it can ...

One thing that brings together the original are all the red lanterns, red boat and red jacket to the right and the yellow sign, yellow boat roof and yellow jacket to the right.  They are the ...

I like v1 best without the purple cast of v2. But I also like, perhaps even prefer, the realism of the original.

Probably another factor for the lower altitude inland areas out west is they tend to have less foliage instead with relatively brighter rocks and desert lands resulting in lower overall exposure ...

Great idea, I hadn't thought of this and will try. My wife uses Canon SL2 as web cam for yoga classes, but sound remains an issue so I will try if this is better than the poor laptop mic.  I ...

I bought an XPS 15 a bit over a year ago and chose FHD+ When I am moving about I wanted a smaller size (vs. 17") and put the savings toward a larger large gamut monitor for when plugged in at the ...

I really like all the contrasting distant and foreground elements. The crane just touches the top of the frame.  I run into this myself sometimes and in my cases I wish I could add a thin strip of ...
