Thanks Linda. I appreciate the comments.

Thank you Pascal.

I am still in school and it is keeping me very busy. I'll be finished in May and I'll be glad of it too.

Hi Kim

 

I am doing good, how about you? This was taken last summer. That was the first time I have been to Monument Valley and I have to tell you, that place is spectacular.

 

Larry

 

P.S. Merry Christmas

I love your abstracts photographs. They are absolutely beautiful.

Its a lovely photo of a beautiful animal. It makes me sorry I'm allergic to cats.

Thank you Carola.

Thank you Barb. Its nice to know older images still get viewed occasionally. I admit to prejudice, since I took it, but I have always liked this image myself.

 

Regards

Thank you Pascal. The color of the water in the Colorado River depends on location. The river starts in Rocky Mountain National Park and the water is definately not red up there. By the time it reaches Southern Utah and Arizona however, it is another story. The water takes on the color of the landscape for sure.

Thank you Paul.

Thanks for looking.

I am studying business administration. I am hoping to learn enough to open my own photography business and be successful at it. I have tried a couple of other business ventures in the past that were total busts. Before I go that route again I would like to know how to avoid the pitfalls. Thats the plan anyway.

Hi Kim

 

I am currently a full time student at Colorado State University. At my age I don't know if it makes any sense or not but its much too late to back out now.

 

Going to school is enormously time consuming. It has kept me so busy, I haven't had a chance to devote much time to photography in ages.

Thank you. I have always been partial to black and white myself.

Well done. Its a lovely portrait. The background and the oval frame are attractive, and the dog is gorgeous.

It's a shame you clipped the front paw.

Thank you Leslie.

Sultan lost a battle with cancer not long ago. He was the most loveable animal I have ever encountered and I miss him.

A nice image. Its well composed with a good tonal range.

 

Where exactly is Gold Canyon Ranch? I grew up in the Phoenix area but I confess I have no clue where that is.

Yes its a car. Actually I think there were two cars. I did a lot of experimentation with night shooting from that location. This was about 4 AM in the morning. I was driving to the airport to catch an early flight back to Colorado. I decided to make one last stop by the river on the way.

 

Taking photos in the dark is not an easy thing to do. Its hit and miss with a lot more misses than hits. Even under a full moon, framing an image is a challenge. Focusing the lens is even more so. For the most part autofocus doesn't work at all and its tricky doing it manually. And then you confront the problem of getting the right exposure.

 

Bottom line, this may not be great art, but I had a ton of fun taking it.

Thank you Kim. I spent a lot of time in that area of California last year and took this the first morning I was able to get down to the river. I never did see it covered with clouds like this again. Its a pretty place in general, but that morning it was spectacular.

Thank you Donibane. I am glad you like it. The spot this was taken from is truly a beautiful location.

Comments welcomed.

Thank you Al.
