February Title - Arch of Fire
How I did it
- Shot at the Valley of Fire State Park about 30 miles north
of Las Vegas in the afternoon. This shot needs to be
in the afternoon, but shadows start to cover the rock in mid
to late afternoon. Shot with Canon 7D ISO 320,
70mm, f/8, 1/200 hand held with a Canon EF70-200 lens.
I have found on two printers that I must lighten this to
print it but it looks good this way on my screen. I
must have a problem. This seemed to be the best
position to get what I wanted of the rocks in front of the
arch, but it allows a bit of rock to be seen through the
arch which I do not like. I can't take it out for
Nature, but I might to enter it in other divisions. I
think in retrospect I needed to get dirty on the ground.

I have had an interest in photography
since a photography class I took in ninth grade, but I have only
been serious about it for the last three years since I retired.
I had a 35mm SLR in the 70s and 80s but then made the mistake
of taking up video recording and did not carry two cameras so
I could not take stills. I am back to still photography with
the digital revolution and have carried a Canon S40 and now a
Nikon 8700. I generally use Photoshop CS for photo editing.
My wife Shirley and I live winters in the Phoenix AZ area and
summers in northern Minnesota on Lake Ada. We like to travel
and much of our photography is on our trips.
I have gotten involved with organized photography in the last
three years. I am currently the president of our photo club at
a retirement community, Sun City Grand, and am the slide and
digital competition chairman for ACCC (Arizona Camera Club Council).
Our Sun City Grand club is newly formed and we have only had
competition for about two years. I learned about PSA as part
of developing our club and have been a PSA member for only two
years.
