More Images from Marc's Gathering of the Clans in Utah

**pathfinder** · Jun-07-2007, 08:37 PM

I have been eagerly waiting to see the results of the weekend several of us spent in Utah with Marc, but there has been rather sparse posting of images from that debauch.

Not sure what the delay is

.

At any rate, I will buck up and break the ice.

Nightingale and I spent almost two weeks on the road coming and going to Utah, so my images will involve more than just the shooting we all did with Marc. Hopefully, some of the images may have some interest to some of the readers of these threads.

Sunrise Colorado Nat Monument

Goblin Valley Sunrise...

Sunrise - Goblin Valley

Shooters in Goblin Valley

Petroglyph Sand Island Bluff, Utah

Pictograms Cave Springs Canyonlands Nat Park

Pictograms of Modern Youth

A Utah Reptile

The Cut through Comb Ridge

Leaves on the Canyon Wall

Aspens leafing out on Cumbres Pass

Cactus Flowers

Aztec Ruins Nat Monument Farmington. NM

One of the suggestions I made while we were all chatting around the campfire, was that we contribute images to a thread, and then have a hardbound book printed by Blogspot or Apple or one of the online limited volume book publishers for each of us. Anyone still interested in this project? If there is any encouragement I will open another thread for image posting for consideration. We might get Marc to make the final choice of images as we will assume he is an impartial judge of image quality.

More images can be seen here

If you do look at this gallery, please take the time to leave a few comments or criticisms while you are there. The management will Thank You.

Hi Jim,

Great photos. I really like the first one and the petroglyphs. I've been processing my photos like mad since I got back. I've got some posted on my web site and I'll be posting them here shortly.

I think a book is a great idea. Yes, I'd be interested in contributing some photos.

Absolutely fantastic......Now one that really caught my eye was your lizard, 'cause when I looked at the rock that is just above and behind him.... I could actually see the out line of a mouth and eye and the sunken in area where a leg should be.....it just had petrified lizard wrote all over it.....of course it could be that I am just stark raving mad also and it looks notheing like a reptile of any sort

.....anywho.....exquisite landscapes also.

Great shots! Beauticious! Must have been a great trip. I really like the composition of the first petroglyph image. But wow, that first of Colorado Natl. Monument is just awesome.

***DoctorIt*** · Jun-08-2007, 10:45 AM

Wow! Gorgeous stuff, Jim!

But I especially like this shot:

I absolutely love when there is a clever human (or three) placed in a stunning landscape to give it true scale! Very well done!

gfxartist · Jun-08-2007, 10:51 AM

Beautiful shots! Looks like a wonderful trip!

***schmoo*** · Jun-08-2007, 11:14 AM

Jim, you really are showing me what you're made of in this post. I love these shots and the ones in your gallery are stunning. You managed to capture the warmth and drama of the sunrises that I was just never quite able to catch.

I loved the idea of a photo book at the time, so count me in.
