I returned from Nevada last week, (which accounts for my absence here), but was unable to get out to do much photo shooting. This was a "working vacation" if that makes any sense. So, here is a shot I took last year near Red Rock Canyon, west of Las Vegas

Ok, I did it wrong. The photo was supposed to appear in the message. GRRR.

My Father was born around the area above the grand canyon, you can really get lost in the area's around there can't you, did you hit any state parks? pretty good shot.

Nice lead across with the road and nice red rocks

There you go Howard, inserted the picture for you. You need to select the img code underneath the picture in the gallery rather than the page URL.

Fixed

...for next time, all you have to do is copy all the text in the UBBCode box (located just below the picture in the gallery), and then just paste it into your post here. Feel free to PM me if you have any more trouble.

Nice composition. Wonderful area for landscape shooting.

Thanks for the help Angela. I was trying to do this last night and was dead on my feet, and then rushed for time this morning. Anyway that's my story. Thanks to all for the positive comments. To Boofers; we weren't exactly lost, just got sidtracked. We were trying to get into Red Rock State Park and the road was closed so I pulled off on this little side road. Lucky find for me. Were you also born out there? I love that part of the country. Here in Iowa it's pretty in the summer, but the rest of the year, it sucks. Will be moving out there next year.

I was born and lived on the beach it seems,,,in San Diego, went every year through the country you were in as my Father always would go visit his childhood home. Alot of Indian history writen on the rocks around those parts if you look for it. As for Iowa,,what's with Reader Digest headquarters out in the middle of a corn field. just went passed it last summer.

When I first looked at this, I thought that it was too flat and needed some "pop".

But when I went back, it seemed to capture the colors and feeling of the Southwest perfectly.

Good job.
