    Well done, Randy. The fog on the peaks gives a nice mood to this one. Haven't seen you here much--glad you are posting!

    Hey Lauren,

    Thanks for looking and commenting! I just posted in Tater's thread why I haven't been around here much this year, thanks for noticing and the welcome back!

    Hey Nik,

    Thanks for the kind comment!

    I was able to be in Zion for part of two days. What a magical place this is!!! I had no idea what a gem this small NP is for photographers. I also learned that the "tunnel" has a 300' drop from one end to the other, and that particular altitude change means that when you spend the day in the rain on the far side, when you come back through the tunnel that evening you'll be met with mucho snow eek7.gif, at least during that time of year.

    I had many a wonderful image ruined by my (essentially first) use to my new Nikon equipment. Specifically the impressive 14-24 lens. It's huge bulbous exposed lens will manage to gather every single droplet of water (that may exist in the whole state) on the lens itself. I managed to ruin many, many great images due to water spots on this lens. And no, I didn't have one of those great inventions called an umbrella with me. Oh well, lesson learned :cry I think with post work I can salvage a few of them, as I really like the shots where the low clouds are dancing around the mountains in the park.

    I only been there during the summer/early fall. I guess I need to reconsider my vacation timing :-)

    My sincere condolences! :cry
    But that's what you get for using Nikon mwink.gif
