Valley of Fire is awesome. I hiked out to see the petroglyphs and came
back. It was about 110 deg. I burn easy so I had on a light long sleeve
shirt and hat but my face still looked like a lobster!

As for the black backgrounds with the leaves - they were taken at the
crack of dawn with my back to the rising sun - I spotmetered the
brightest spots on the leaves, letting the background go dark. Same
for the ridgeline ('North Face of Denali'?) - in Photoshop I then made
sure the dark side became completely dark.
HTH.
And by the way, next time in Vegas you've got to take the time to
visit 'Valley of Fire' State Park about an hour or so north of the
city - in spots, its other worldly.

VERY nice gallery! How did you get the black backgrounds on some of
the photos, like the one of the leaves, and along the ridge line??? I
love it.

I used to go to Vegas for a yearly networking (computer) trade
show. The last 3 years that I went, I went on the Friday before the
show. Arrived and went to Utah for the weekend. I stumbled on Zion
the first year (without my cameras) but turned those weekends into
photo excursions for the last 2. Hence, I haven't been to
everything I want to see (Canyonlands and Arches).
What's Capitol Reef all about? As I recall, it didn't capture my
imagination when I heard about it all those years ago ...
Well for one it doesn't have Kadak tripod hole locations the
crowds that go with it, so you can pretty much have the place to
yourself - I've been there 3 times, mainly in early spring and have
never been bothered by crowds - heck there were days in the park I
never saw another person.

You are right ... southern Utah is one of my FAVORITE places!

Re: Re: Re: Re: PESO - A Long time Coming...
Glad I could point you in the right direction. Hope you got some keepers.
West of Vegas is a place called 'Red Rocks' - not as big a place as 'Valley'
but still has some decent shooting opportunities.
And remember to be quiet about these places - we don't want too many people
discovering them -SHHH
