    And I shall call him Spot, the Sun Dog

    Saw my first Sun Dog today. A number of people have told me they haven't seen them this large. I had to severely underexpose to capture it as the sun was so close it would blow everything out. And now I present... Spot

    Your thoughts on the use of the flag in this photo

    If you're not American, imagine it with your own flag, but what do people think? Is this wrong? Right? Honoring? Something altogether different?

    Nik Dfine 2 vs Topaz Denoise 5

    @wornish @mikew A previous thread on Noise Reduction brought up the question of different aftermarket noise clean up tools: Nik Tools Dfine and Topaz Denoise. Having both I decided to give it a try head-to-head and see the results. First set straight out of the camera - D7100, Tamron 90mm...

    Wrestling Tournament

    Thanks to @Krs_2007 for some pointers on shooting wrestling. Even though I have plenty of experience to have figured it out, why reinvent the wheel. So a big thank you to krs_2007. I went in armed with my D600, 70-200mm f/2.8, ISO 2500, exposure compensation +2, 1/500th. I knew from having been...

    Cheap filters, how bad can they be?

    For grins, I decided to see how much of a difference this cheap CP filter (thrown in for free with a different lens purchase) would make to an image. Truth be told, I had used it many times before on my ultra wide angle lens and with that type of lens there is so much compression that I never...

    We need a new forum category

    I'm watching this thread on whether you use a filter or not. It is, by some, a passive aggressive little pissing contest. AND I can certainly understand that for many on here this is a well past beaten dead horse. For others, this is their first rodeo (keeping to that horse theme - crack myself...

    First Transcontinental Railroad (United States)

    For all of Utah's shortcomings... if you dig a little deeper this state has an amazing history often lost in time. With that said, Utah is where the first transcontinental railroad line met east with west. To this day you can see some of this history still hanging around in the desert. This...

    Comet Lovejoy last night.

    A few years ago I captured Comet Panstarrs and it was quite the adventure. The comet was closely chasing the sun and being paced by the moon. At least in my part of the world you could not see it with the naked eye. However, doing a bit of homework I was able to triangulate its location and...

    Moab Man 2015 Photo Collection

    This is NOT an entry into the Project 365. It is simply my photography over the course of this year. Please give feedback and thoughts, positive or negative. My intention is to make every photo a photo I can be proud of. I love historic 25th Street in Ogden, Utah. It dates back to the pioneer...

    First REAL snowfall this year.

    We were fortunate to get a bit of snow for Christmas, but today was our first day of real snow - photo opportunities! The park behind my house provides plenty of great areas to shoot.

    Playing with a new backdrop

    Tried out this new backdrop. I like it and it looks better through the camera than it does with your eyes so that was a pleasant surprise.

    Learning my new equipment.

    Been working on getting my studio set up. Cleaning, floor laid, and lights set up. While it is not complete, I couldn't wait to at least get something shot with some of the new gear. This is the starting photo. One Elinchrom 400w with a white reflector shot on my D7100 at ISO 100 on my Tamron...

    My latest puzzle

    I haven't done a puzzle in years and I can tell you I was seriously rusty. Previously, I cut 12 piece puzzles out of standard size postage stamps, put them in match boxes and gave them away as gifts. Tonight it was hard enough to cut a puzzle piece the size of a postage stamp LOL. I guess that...

    Most expensive photo ever

    Wow! Quite the scathing rebuke on a Peter Lik photo. Thoughts? The $6.5m canyon: it's the most expensive photograph ever – but it's like a hackneyed poster in a posh hotel | Art and design | The Guardian

    Moab Man's 2015 Area 52

    I will use the original theme list. The plan is to use this as a bucket list of good photos and not just something to fill a requirement. While I will try to capture something each week, the intent is to capture a great photo when a list item presents itself. As I fulfill an item I will un-bold...
