Time for a new photo thread!

I'll start by posting a few we took during our 2nd voyage into the Grand Canyon yesterday.

Here is a classic view of the canyon.

Starting our hike. You can see tiny people way below us as our trail switched back on itself. (It was extremely steep.)

The path farther down. The drop off on both sides was stomach churning!

Re: 2011 Photos
 

Awesome photos, Randy.

Re: 2011 Photos
 

Wow. Beautiful pictures.
You should be a professional
photographer! :)

Re: 2011 Photos
 

And as close as I would want to get to the Grand Canyon. :)

Re: 2011 Photos
 

Trust me, these photos do not do it justice. They also do not show just how high you are when you look over an edge.

Re: 2011 Photos
 

Thanks, I'm in the process of learning. LOL Although I always get knocked down 1 or 5 pegs every time I look at the photos that the true professionals keep turning out.

Re: 2011 Photos
 

Your wife is making me NERVOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 2011 Photos
 

Fantastic!

Re: 2011 Photos
 

Thanks. I took quite a few more that I am in the process of processing.

Re: 2011 Photos
 

Great photos! My only Grand Canyon viewing has been as I flew over :airplane

I'm nervous right along with AQP. I'll enjoy from afar.

Awesome depth of view, Bro. Nice. Great colors as well.

Re: 2011 Photos
 

Thanks. I am still learning. Of course whenever I think mine are really good I just look at many of the other photos on the site and the opinion of my own changes fast. LOL

Re: 2011 Photos
 

Post that "Horseshoe Bend" photo here and you'll have a fan club. Did you use HDR on that? It looks as though there is the slightest touch and the overall effect is really, really good.

Re: 2011 Photos
 

Yes, this is an HDR made from three pics and combined using Photoshop CS5. Since I did this one I got Photomatix Pro which does a much better job.

Re: 2011 Photos
 

I should probably mention, uhhhh, that this is a site frequented by many professional photographers and some of the subject matter is, uhhhhh, of an adult nature (thats 'nude' to those of you in Rio Linda). But I would also encourage people to take a look since many of the pictures are absolutely stunning!

Re: 2011 Photos
 

Great pics Randy Wayne. My wife really wants to visit the Grand Canyon and walk out on that plexiglass platform 3,000 feet above the floor that enterprising Indian tribe has put in and charge $75 per customer.

Re: 2011 Photos
 

Not only do they charge $$$ to go out there but they do not allow camera's! Guess who WON'T be doing it.

Re: 2011 Photos
 

thanks...enjoyed the pictures.

Here are some Christmas pictures I took last night at a Tempe neighborhood where every single house on a certain cul de sac decorates to the hilt. You can see all the people that come to see it!

Last night my husband and I, with list in hand, drove to several neighborhoods with elaborate light displays.
Several give you a FM location so the music is in sync with the action.
Fantastic lights and fun_______but these folks have too much disposable income and wayyy toooo much time :jolly

Re: 2011 Photos
 

It's all good fun. :)
