Lost Image from Lost Dutchman State Park, AZ

[Douglas Sherman]

While going through old boxes of slides, I found a box labeled Lost Dutchman. It contained the images from a roll of Velvia 50 I shot in 2000 when there was a super bloom. I have a few more I will post when I have a chance to process them.

Love those Velvia colors!

Almost a gold color which would have fit nicely with a Lost Gold theme

Beautiful blooms!

Love those Velvia colors!

So do I, Dan. That was the last super bloom at that place. It has been almost 25 years now.

Beautiful blooms!

Thanks so much, Alan. That place hasn't had a decent bloom since then. Each year all of the photographers in AZ look forward to a good year after heavy winter rains but it never happens.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful image Douglas, I am glad you caught that super bloom! How did you scan the slide?

Very nice image Doug. Nice you found these. That is some wildflower show.

I posted this image on Monday and only got two comments: one from Alan Lichty and one from Dan Swinger. Then I got nothing until Friday so I thought there must be something wrong. I was trying to figure out what was wrong then I got three comments on Friday. Thanks for your kind comment, Jim.

Thanks, Larry. I scanned it with a Nikon 5000 LS scanner which I have had for years.

Thanks, Jameel. I wish it would bloom like this every year but then I guess we probably wouldn't appreciate it as much.

Doug, what a lovely shot, I was very fond of velvia films for the saturation and color.

Thanks so much, Oliver. I still can't get it out of my head how beautiful it was that year.
