Even though I've been at this quite awhile, I'm still humbled by the novice who comes and states to me, "That's some camera. What kind of pictures do you take with that?" My stock reply, "Sometimes very good ones and sometimes very bad".
I do have quite a bit of down time here at work and found the "Forum" while searching out photo sites on the web. Being interested mainly in black and white since picking up a camera, I eagerly clicked on the examples of Rob's work done in Zion National Park. I almost fell off of my chair, (just a little exageration), when I saw his image of the split rock. With the exception of the piece being horizontal, it's as if we put our tripods on the very same spot.
It looks like that time it was a very good one.
Has anyone else chanced upon the work of another that could have been taken for something you did. I don't mean your shots of Mt Whitney from the Alabama Hills, (I've yet been able to get a decent one), but something that caught your eye as you were passing by, something you hadn't seen before even though you had been up and down that road many times.
