A Canyonland National Park icon; the famous Mesa Arch. Just don't mind the 20+ other photographers at your sides (it could be shoulder to shoulder at times), you won't go wrong with the Mesa Arch sunrise. When the forecast is for a clear cloudless sunrise, for most areas this would not be attractive to seasoned landscape photographers. But for Mesa Arch, this is the ingredient for a fantastic reflection on the arch.
While waiting for the perfect light during the Subway hike I decided to make use of the time and be creative. That's how I came up with this shot
Inspired by the #MacroMondays theme “A spoonful” of anything!
Experimenting with light, tiny objects, and lenses.
Here, a teaspoon (5ml) of tiny watch parts.
125 second exposure (to capture the cloud movement)

This may be one of the last photos taken with the kit lens.
I'm patiently waiting for the delivery of my first Canon L glass... a brand new 17-40mm :D
The last evening light illuminates the foreground vegetation before the sun dips into the horizon.

I'm leaving for a short trip to a gorgeous country. A fellow flickrite has kindly accepted to accompany me and we will meet a unique flickr personality there :)
Take care
Hiking to the Subway in spring one will be greeted with the abundance of water flowing along the rocky beds of North Creek.
Thanks for all your previous comments/critics on my previous post. I've been slow to flickr lately but I will be able to catch up soon.

Leaving the Valley of Fire
Valley of Fire State Park, NV
As I was leaving the Valley of Fire State Park, I was presented with yet another fiery beauty of sunset light in the sky.
----------
The White Pocket of the Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness highlights the hidden beauties of the Southwest. A little visited section of the area lies an otherworldly landscape. This is a photographer's paradise. And to be blessed with wonderful light on this location is rarely captured.
"When there's snow on the roof it doesn't mean there's no fire in the furnace."
This was taken during my last day in Bryce. The snow mostly cover every even soil overnight and the morning was a bit darker than usual with the cloud lying so low. I thought it was hopeless for a beautiful sunrise. But the clouds parted for split seconds at sunrise giving me this parting gift.
On my way from Canyon de Chelly to Page, AZ I stopped by Monument Valley for sunset. I initially planned to spend the night here for sunrise but I was very satisfied with this sunset light and decided to proceed to Page, AZ.
The magenta on the lower level of clouds I believe was influenced mainly by the reflection from the desert red and the sand storm at the time of capture.
You honest critical opinion is highly appreciated. Thanks for looking.
Along Utah's scenic byway 12 you will be able to see many of the Southwest's amazing natural wonders. It is in itself a distination.

To all my flickr friends, I'd like to introduce you to my new photography website www.retzercariaga.com. I've been working on it for a few months now and I'm glad it's finally out. Although there's a few things that need polishing it's fully functional now. Take your time to visit and enjoy my collections.

This is The Subway. I had literally hiked in the dark on this challenging trail upstream of Left Fork of North Creek. I had to make sure I got there at first light to be able to capture the location at different quality of light.
5D, EF 16-35mmIIL, ISO 50, f/11, 2.5 seconds.
Enjoy!
Your comments/critics are appreciated. I will get to your latest posts this week.
Different parts of the year yeild different colors when you are shooting Antelope Canyon. This was taken in early April where you still have the blue and red.

In celebration of my 23rd birthday today, I figured I would post a shot from my favorite celebratory show, Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. I tried a completely new workflow on this one knowing that since it's my birthday, I can do whatever I want, regardless of if it's good or not! This involved using Nik Color Efex Pro, and I kind of like it, but I'm not sold on it. Let me know what you think! Thanks for lookin', and have a great day!
This is Devil's Garden at Arches National Park. I don't know why it's named Devil's Garden when in fact this place as the rest of Arches NP is amazing. On my first day in the park, I just took an evening stroll to scout for places (not even sure where to go for sunrise yet). But I was fortunate enough to have been welcomed by this cloud formation. This is looking south and therefore doesn't make it a photographic icon. But the cloud formation has given me a good composition at the moment.

This is the view from Sentinel Dome, Yosemite National Park 3000 feet above the valley floor at an elevation of 8,122 feet. The hike is a relatively easy 2.2 miles (3.5 km) roundtrip hike leading to the base of Sentinel Dome. From this view we see El Capitan, Cathedral Rock, Cathedral Spires and faintly to the left the Fissures.
The entire afternoon was doomed with a thick cloud layer and I wasn't sure if we were going to get anything out of the sunset. Right under the cloud layer a bit of red/orange began to form and eventually leading to one of the most impressive sunsets I've ever seen. This is a picture of about 30 minutes before the that sunset and once i figure out how to post process the complexity of the scene I'll be posting that shot.

Here's a shot from last Saturday while spending the last hours of the Sabbath with my wife Lewelyn at Great Falls National Park. It was already dark, but these river kayakers were still enjoying the water at the Potomac River. Great Falls is the playground not only to the egrets and blue herons but also to the river kayakers. Shot this one with my 100-400mmL at 340mm and 5D; f/5.6, ISO 160, 1/3 sec.

The hoodoos of Bryce Canyon are standing ready to challenge all comers and prevent a surprise attack.
Coronado Island is such a relaxing environment. I'm ready for retirement and I haven't even made a dollar to my name. This sunset started brewing about an hour before the sun dipped below Point Loma, seen in the distance. The clouds came in and the colors were firing off for a while, but I couldn't get down to the beach until this moment you see here. I could've emptied an entire 4GB CF card, but thats life.

Pieces of rocks piled together on the south side of the famous Yellow Rock at the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. This humongous rock formation is literally composed of yellow crossbedding of rocks. Close to sunset, at the last rays of light, Yellow Rock is bathed in gold accentuated by stripes of other colors.

Not too many photographers give emphasis to the gentle colors of Bryce's slopes and that's because there's not much of them compared to the many hoodoos. So i tried my best to create a composition that is not as common and that's how i came up with this one. Hiking down the trail brings you closer to this colorful slopes. (So beautiful and it reminds me of Oregon's Painted Hills). But still you need a longer lens to isolate this beauty. In this case I used 105mm.
Thanks for looking.

A remote switch for my Canon 600 film camera, my wife gave this to me about thirty years ago. It's many years since I last used it.

It's the arch-like small passage in the lower antelope canyon receiving filtered light from the opening above.
As the remote jobs of CPKC's Shreveport Yard get ready to start their work, the tower asks what motors they are using that day. Job 20 replied "KCS 691 working the West End with a Trainee, Tower."
With in a few mins, the loud low roar of an EMD pulling hard could be heard as the KCS 691 leads a cut toward the West end yard limits to begin breaking the cut up.
My wife was given some roses by one of her students (maybe looking for a better grade... not) and they were going by, almost dead. She was about to toss them in the compost heap but I thought it might be fun to photograph them first.
The skylights in our home office are perfect for this kind of photography so here's the setup. Notice the tripod leg not fully extended to get some lean over the table. This can be done with almost any tripod and it's a great technique.
I also used an external switch to push the shutter button to eliminate vibration (thanks for the recommendation Dale) and I highly recommend it.
This image was taken with my wife's Canon S400 elph.

HDR-processing through tonemapping with photomatix pro v3. 3 exposures: -2 0 +2. Did spend a lot of time with tonemapping (second time!) so comments on the job are very welcome.
The idea for TwPhCh013 is landscape. I went to the forest looking for orange sunbeams penetrating sprucetrees, but it never happened (se Dan Danboard in the forest instead). The backup was to cover the sunset, and again with fields of grain.
against the grain - bad religion lyrics:
I seek a thousand answers,
I find but one or two,
I maintain no discomfiture,
my path again renewed,
against the grain,
that's where I'll stay,
swimming upstream,
I maintain against the grain
