I've seen the term "Stilled Life" used, have you? |

As it turns out, the reflections nicely define the floor. I thought it might just be a floater, but this is great. |

Yes, on the long shutter to preclude motion. By coincidence, Author Tim Grey has a column on that same topic this week. I've never tried it. This time, there really weren't any people, so it was easy to just concentrate to get five that could be composited.
Very nice to be able to re-new old friendships and professional contacts. Thanks. |

The eye, the tongue, and the whiskers, show real craftswomanship in this photo. to my eye, it's more than the usual Zoo headshot of an animal. You've shown some "gesture" to the animal.
The vignette is just right, too.
Very well done. |

I once had a great photo where all in it was aligned horiz and vert and a judge suggested that I rotate the palette to make it a diagonal. It worked, and it works here. What would you think of an attempt to barely lighten the upper part of the ball to give it definition? You have a nice "abstract" looking image,....... and I just wonder. Net: the work is never done. too many alternatives to try.
Nicely done. |

Without the town's lights, there would be no definition to the hills and become a black hole with a comet. The Zone 2 or even Zone 1.5 dark areas are nicely defined, and the reflections from the lights on the bridge are well shown. I've looked at this without the upper third showing, the part with the comet. It's almost like the comet is not needed to create an nice artsy night photo. I'm wondering what it might look like if you were to "advance" the track of the comet and bring it closer to the horizon? That's my only suggestion, and it's just a guess.
Q: When were you ever not busy in your legal work? Yes, I know, it's a disease. I have it, too. |

I like the variety provided by this High Key Still Life. (What could be more still than rocks?) You've taken one of the most basic, pedestrian subjects and magically turned it into an art piece. Good work. Reflections are nice. I wonder if it would look too "epherial" if the horizontal line were removed? as in 'Floating in mid-air?' Funny, but it appears to me to "want" a fly to land on one of the rocks as in VP Pence's head? |

A good shot for the record book about a construction activity. Nicely framed on each side. Vertical lines are vertical. Good contrast. But in the end it is a record shot for the books and the participants. (nothing wrong with that, however, since to be a successful photograph it ought to meet the maker's needs and wants.) |

Nicely balanced with a nice line of grave markers leading to the small chapel. Sharp.The contrast aplied by Diana gives a stronger image which I recommend. |

I helped survey the property lines on the unit Don bought in the mtns behind Moab and helped get his water source, a spring, going. George organized a Guy's Albacore Tuna fishing trip out of San Diego, an overnighter, one year. Lots of nice memories from those days. I left SLC in 1968 for Salem Oregon, with my background in banking automation (great) for a management job in a State and Local Gov't (awful) Branch Office. Two years later I was in the hardware and mainly software bunch when it was legitimized by IBM's "unbundling," and that's where it got exciting.

No people.
A few cars.
Time between shots was "not hurried," just re-composed so I could do the compositing.
People are brave, or foolhardy, now and they're "ouut and aaboot." And, we're getting our vaccinations. |

Well, well, well. We moved to Sun City Texas in 2004 from Sandy where we'd been for ten years. Were there also for U of U 1952-60 and in Ogden and Bntfl from 62-68 with IBM. Born there but raised in Calif. Wife Marge born, raised and at U of U, also from Ut. I've been through Gunnison, Utah, so many times on the way to an elk hunt or a photo shoot in So Utah, I can't count. My g grandfather and cousins and families settled Richmond, and my Grandfather was Richmond's first Doctor. Odell Photography was started by my other Utah Grandfather and his half brother in 1892 in Logan where he was their first portrait ph'er. Another G Grandfather drove the family's covered wagon down Emigration Canyon in the second wagon in line in Sept 1847, The BIG Wagon Train is what I think it was called. Do you still live in Utah? |

BACK TO PSA........ Yep, a long time. Some things look familiar, some new and different. Local activities have gotten to be too contentous and stifling, so I thought it best to renew my PSA activities. So far, so good. Thanks. We miss Carol, as I'm certain you do also. A wonderful person. wes |
