Pathway to the flaming tree

The fall colors are quite nice up in the mountains, not started down here yet. This is a 5 shot HDR which really helps get the colors bright. LYLE

Horned Owl

This wonderful owl was in an aviary and was performing a flying demo. It was sitting on it's handlers arm when I shot this. I was standing about 3 feet from it. It didn't like having its picture taken so it was scowling at me. I used my 70-300 lens at f/5.6, 1/4000 sec, ISO 3200, in manual mode. It was in full shade and the bird was fairly dark so that is why I shot it that way. LYLE

Big Dipper over the Canyon Wall

This was shot at about 10:00 PM in almost entire dark. I set the time for 24 sec, ISO 5000, f/2, and 24 mm with a 24-120 lens. The light was coming from a bus that passed that lit up the handrail and trees. The canyon wall was lit from light trespass from the village that was to my right. The stars seemed to be right in my lap. So beautiful even the photos don't do it justice. LYLE

Tree at Hopi Point

This tree was shot just before sunset at Hopi Point on the South Rim of Grand Canyon. Judi and I went there for our 40th anniversary. This is a 5 shot HDR, more to come. LYLE
