I watched Peter Lik's show on Antelope Valley, again last night. Peter's images from Antelope Canyon were marvelous. I decided to do a bit of editing and processing to see fi I could improve mine.
This is my latest attempt. I thnk this image looks good on a black background. Please click on thie image if you would like to see this.
Monsoon thunderstorms across Arizona frequently provide some of the most intense, colorful and beautiful lightning strikes imaginable. The arid climate and associated high cloud base allows for an unimpeded view of the lightning channels during these intense storms. In the above photograph, a cloud-to-ground stroke connects with an intracloud stroke, serving as a background to the University of Arizona campus dorms in Tucson.

This shot was taken in September 1999, one of my first professional-quality lightning photographs. It shot was featured fullpage in the University of Arizona Alumni Association quarterly (Seen here).

Some breathtaking mountains in Arizona, USA. The whole scene was very impressive already, but I decided to give it this “drama” HDR effect to make it even more stunning.
Enjoy photography!

It has been a while since my last post on flickr. I hope everyone is doing great :)
This picture was taken in northeastern Arizona, about 50 miles from the New Mexico
Superstition Mountain boldly stands guard over the eastern edge of Arizona's vast
'Valley of the Sun' which sprawls 100 miles to the west and is home to over 4 million people in the Phoenix metro area.
The legend of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine centers around the Superstition Mountains. According to the legend, a German immigrant named Jacob Walzer discovered a mother lode in the Superstition Wilderness and revealed its location on his deathbed in Phoenix in 1891 to Julia Thomas, a boarding-house owner who had taken care of him for many years. Several mines have been claimed to be the actual mine that Walzer discovered, but none of those claims have been verified.
