So GF and I had a trip up to zion for a couple friends’ wedding. I must say that park is so photo worthy. Have to go back again and camp a couple nights next time. Any case we took a bunch of photos and I am pretty much forcing myself to get good at manual mode purely. I think I am getting the hang of it.

This photo was taken just outside of the junction to 89 and 89a. It just along the hill climb to page az.

The image is tad bit on the dark side, but I wanted to capture as much range as possible, so I did this on purpose.

This is the horseshoe bend in the Colorado river that I missed last time I was in page. That is Laura in the foreground.

I so need a wide angle lens

yep, wide angle please.

Now for a few pics within Zion national park.

yeah I got a lot of pics. This is only a small sample of them. This is on our trek back

We are just north of the bridge over glen canyon.

The new bridge over the canyon

We were on the old bridge

Looking down at the rafters, that is a long way down.

I need to upload photos from the other trip to California I had. Nice little festival at the Thai temple in Van Nuys. My little sister won second place.

So I took my brother out to tempe for some practice with the camera gear. I wish I really had a body that can do high ISO cleanly like the Canon 7d or 5DMKII. It would make taking some of these shots much easy and cleaning looking. At least we got some good practice in low light situations with the full manual mods.

I post a few of the shots on my image hosting site.

A side note, Gallery 3 Beta 3 is turning out very nicely. Much quicker than beta 2 was. I look forward to the final release of this software.
