]]>Moab, which sites on the Colorado River, is one of the prime focal point towns in scenic Utah. It is surrounded by natural wonders including Arches NP, Canyonlands NP and Deadhorse Point SP. Along the river one can also find Fisher Towers, pteroglyphs, and arches as well. Nearby are the LaSal mountains. Truly a magnificent place to see wonders of the world, all within a short drive of your motel room. and be able to return at night to a hot meal and shower rather than a camp site.

Fireworks

]]>These "Fireworks" photos were made on several different occasions. Most recently on July 4, 2010 at Shoreline Park in Mt. View, CA. On this shoot, I experimented with focus shift during shooting. With this technique, while the lens is open during the longish exposrues required I manually moved the focus ring on the lens. This caused some of the exposure to be captured with the image more or less in focus and some of the exposure to be captured out of focus. During the exposure time the spots of light were moving so were in different positions in the sky during the focused, and un-focused poritoins of the exposure. I kinda lke the effect.
