What camera are you shooting SSJ?  Nice pics.  I'll load some more later when I get home.

I have used 4 different camera's in different settings Manuel and automatic settings these pictures have been taken over several years I love digital, sometimes I'll enhance them some with FastStone or Photoshop not often just like to experiment some when I have time. I have approx 10000 pictures I haven't downloaded yet still on the card's. There have been a few times I'll trade cameras with people on trip's.

Nikon E5700 various Lenses
Nikon D3200 various lenses
Both these compact cameras take very good pictures and video
Canon PowerShot A2100 IS
Panasonic DMCZS8

The Wave Arizona

The Wave is a sandstone rock formation located in the United States of America near the Arizona and Utah border on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes, in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, on the Colorado Plateau. It is famous among hikers and photographers for its colorful, undulating forms, and the rugged, trackless hike required to reach it.
