Here are two angles of Fly Geyser. The first is the angle from the boardwalk and I composed this a little wide to pick up at least some of the surrounding landscape. The second is across the outlet pool looking for some reflections. I did use the new Photoshop remove tool to eliminate a warning...

I made the trek out to Fly Geyser yesterday - a long day trip from the Bay Area. For those that have wondered, the geyser is now accessible through a docent-lead tour that you can book through the Friends of Black Rock High Rock. The tour/walk ends with the highlight, Fly Geyser and they do give...

She was a great friend, but it was time to get on the road and I had to tell her goodnight. Nevada is a fun little state, mostly pretty barren, but if one keeps their eyes open, as I was doing as sunset was fast approaching, you can find some interesting compositions. This was about a mile off...

You can only be in Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada at night if they have a special event or if you are in a campground. On this particular night, there was both a special event and I was in the campground. So after the special event at the Fire Wave closed down at 8pm (Which I still have to...

Out at the Fire Wave for sunrise on the morning that my D810 died. The color was to the east, but the composition was to the north. :) If you have never been to Valley of Fire, it is in my mind a must see location. It's in the middle of Nevada, but it's not far off the I-15 so it's not hard to...

This is from a week ago in Valley of Fire. After shooting the stars over the Fire Wave I came over by my campsite and went down the road just a bit to set up for timelapses. This is one from the timelapses I shot and it was one of the last shots captured by my beloved Nikon D810 before huge...

Well... somewhere between Utah and Death Valley last June I shot this. Maybe Alan can narrow it down with his hawk eyes! :) There was a storm, and somewhere there was a road, and somewhere I just started driving and exploring and found this. :rolleyes: All comments are welcome, Jim

Valley of Fire could easily be renamed Valley of Stripes as there are stripes all over the place. This is from the Fire Wave area, as the sunset colors quickly moved I moved my position with them to help keep them in the composition. All comments are welcome, Jim

After spending a few day's with Ben and getting to spend an hour in the morning when Jeffrey arrived in Hanksville, I left to head back to California. Plotting my route and trying to figure out where I would shoot the sunset along the way. As it turned out, going into Valley of Fire gave me just...

I took these while walking out to the Fire Wave (I can't really call it a hike). For the first two, I found what was essentially a rain puddle and decided I needed to try getting some reflections looking back in the direction of the trailhead. For the last two, I was trying to use the lines in...

I made a quick stop in Valley of Fire on my way back from Utah/Arizona last week, my first time in the park. After visiting "the wave" I figured I needed to see the "fire wave". It is definitely a cool area worthy of more time than I had to spend. Any thoughts are welcome.

An old archived shot from Valley of Fire in Nevada that I am editing on the road. Hopefully it looks okay as I am using a borrowed monitor. All comments are welcome, Jim

One I just processed from the archives. This is Valley of Fire in Nevada, just a short drive north of Las Vegas. This is in the Fire Wave area. Although the Fire Wave is super cool, there is just so many cool and interesting geography in that whole area. This was at sunset, not a lot of clouds...

One of the fun things to do in Yosemite is to get rainbows or moonbows at the various waterfalls. Here is one I got as I shot from up at Glacier Point shooting at an area called the Giant Staircase with the rainbow at the bottom of Vernal Falls. All comments are welcome, Jim

Went exploring around Goodsprings, NV the other day. Great old mining community in Southern Nevada. While out and about in the area, spotted 7 wild horses and some other wildlife - A Golden Eagle sparring with a couple of crows over some roadkill and a coyote that came in to scavenge what it...

We sure got lucky on the way out of VOF to go shoot the Moapa Powwow, in spotting these right before the visitor center. Pardon the fb logo

This is one of my favorite places to photograph. I have decided to make images from this area my first posts.
