A few pictures I took during my photographer tour of Upper Antelope Canyon in Page, AZ during our trip out west in October. These were all taken with my Canon 5D Mark IV mated with a Canon 17-40 f/4L USM on a tripod and using a remote shutter release. Most were shot at ISO 100 in aperture priority at f/11 which resulted in long exposures of 45 seconds or more. If you ever plan to take a tour in Upper Antelope Canyon drop me a note before you make your reservations....there are things you'll definitely want to know. Anyway enjoy!

I concur, VERY nice!

A few from Zion National Park and Arches National Park I took last week while out there... Zion Canyon Overlook Trail Double Arch, Arches National Park taken at midnight Double Arch - Arches National Park (daytime) Hoover Dam - Boulder City, NV Taken at 11pm Moab, UT - Red Cliffs along Colorado River at 1:30am All of these photos were taken with Canon 5D Mark IV and Canon EF 17-40 f/4L USM lens

Grats!

Where was this taken? One of the parks in UT? I am headed to Zion, Bryce, Capital Reef, Canyon lands, Arches, Upper Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend in a couple of weeks. Can't wait.

Fantastic!!

Was in Vegas for a conference earlier this week. Decided to take my camera with me. Didn't have all that much time to go play with it, but I did manage to get out very early one morning (before 5am) and grabbed a nice shot at the Bellagio. Vegas is pretty cool, but it's not all that....... Maybe if I was buff, single and in my 20s again. Enjoy!

Spent last week in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Had to deal with two tropical storms....but last night was wicked wild as Tropical Storm Hermie blew through with 70 MPH gusts. Took this panoramic photo with my phone one evening as thunder storms rolled trhough....

Pre-ordered my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV yesterday. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Headed out west to the Might Five parks in UT (Bryce, Zion, Arches, Canonlands & Capital Reef) in October. Hopefully I'll have it by then.

Welcome to the family, Ghost! Enjoy playing with you!

Welcome!

Awesome! Goldendoodle F1B is going to be my next dog!

Seriously a great deal! Benro makes a nice tripod. If I didn't already have a few, I would be all over this!

Are you glad Colt left CT for TN? I love my Colt.....

Welcome to the quieter, more peaceful side of VA. Rockingham county is nice.....what brings you to VA?

I have used Pinnacle Studio extensively as well as Cyberlink Power Director and dabbled with Adobe Premier Pro. All have a bit of a learning curve, but for ease of use, I would probably lean towards Powerlink CyberDirector or Pinnacle Studio. But if yo're looking for complete control and awesome workflow, none are better than Adobe Premier. All you need is a thick wallet.

Thanks everyone! To be honest, you all already made me feel like a part of this big dysfunctional family. I guess this just makes it official. I'm an IDIOT!

Happy Birthday Black Rose!

Just got home from a couple of days on the boat. Practice a little BIF (Bird In Flight) with my Canon 5D MK III and Canon 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS USM. As appropriate for Memorial Day, I give you the symbol of these great United States Of America. Always remember those who have sacrificed everything so that we may enjoy our freedom. A couple of shots of a male Banded Kingfisher. If you have ever tried to take a shot of one of these buggers flying at warp speed, you'll appreciate that I got it even close to being in focus. An Osprey hit right next to the boat and I was totally not ready. This is a 'grab' shot as it came up with a Sunfish. Not perfectly in focus, but interesting nonetheless. Last but not least three consecutive shots of a Bald Eagle snagging a fish from the water. These are major crop shots as this eagle was easily 100 yards or more away....so they are far from perfect.

There goes the neighborhood, right?

My mother has been saying the same thing for 54 years.

Yes, a very nice greeting from Sally on TS.

We're missing you too, buddy. Get back here soon!

Very nice!

Seems the snakes are finally out since the rain stopped and its finally warming up. I guess they were getting water logged.....interesting considering its a water snake
