    Title or Location: Borrego Canyon Trail, Whiting Ranch
    This was taken on Borrego Canyon Trail on my way back from Red Rock Canyon Trail in Whiting Ranch. I didn't see this composition heading into Whiting Ranch but a couple of hours later, on my way out, the sun began to set and the golden hour took hold. It only goes to show, in landscape photography you have to follow the light!On another note, I'd like to take this opportunity to give a big thanks to all the administrative personnel who make this site such a great success! Great job!

    Title or Location: Arches NP, Utah
    This picture was taken with a Pentax 6X7 medium format film camera about 40 years ago. I recently scanned it on an Epson V600 scanner then edited it with Affinity Photo2 to bring out the color and clarity. I also have a picture of Delicate Arch, an iconic image from Utah's Arches National Park (one of Utah's big 5 NPs). If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend visiting this park.

    Title or Location: Grand Canyon
    This picture was taken nearly 40 years ago during the later part of the day with a Pentax 6X7 medium format film camera. I scanned it with an Epson V600 scanner then converted it to black and white using Affinity Photo 2 editing software. I increased the clarity and contrast then dodged the sun rays for a more dramatic affect. I hope to return to this location some day to see what other compositions I can capture.

    Title or Location: Crystal Cove Beach
    The tide was coming in fast which made for great water movement. I found an interesting looking rock and set up my camera so the water flow would create nice leading lines to the setting sun. Camera settings: 14 -35mm lens at 14mm, f16, ISO 100, 1/2 sec shutter speed with a variable ND filter.

    Title or Location: Dunedin, FL
    Stumbled across this quaint little neighborhood park while driving around one day during my stay in Dunedin, FL. San Jose Park isn?t very large in size but it?s big on it?s view and peacefulness. It was such a great, quiet place to end the day and just be with your thoughts and relax while watching the sunset.

    Canyon Overlook in Zion National Park, an easy 30 min hike to this spot was worth it. View of the canyons and the switchbacks. Sprinkle of snow dust on the peaks makes gives it a bit more drama.
