Hi Guys,

Nikkor Nikon 16-35 f/4 lens

Sigma 12-24 f/4.5-5.6 lens

Hi Florent,

We haven't heard from you for a while on the forum but once again
you have delivered an extraordinary sample of images from your latest
trip.

The Double arch and Mesa arch images are absolutely wonderful!

Hello Gary,

Thank you so much for your message. It is also a pleasure :)
Sorry for the news, now i prepare exhibitions to display and sell my pictures, a lot of work. I had surgery for an inguinal hernia 3 months ago and i stopped all my activites with CCD imaging. And after that the preparations of my trip.

Now all is OK, the trip was marvellous :thumbsup:. A long work now to process the pictures and to prepare them for the large prints.

Mesa arch is a beautiful place in Canyonland.

Thanks once again.

Warmest Regards,

Florent :)

Beautiful images Florent.
Having just come back from a 2-week photography trip, I can't imagine how many images you've collected and how you cull them down to such a short list!

Well done.

That's a sensational collection there! Beautiful!

Thank you very much Mike. :)

I know it is difficult to choose a small quantity of shots but it is necessary to have the cream, the best.

I sell my pictures now and i must display the best in my exhibitions. In the short list presented on my page, only 10 or 11 will be chosen for large prints.

Thanks once again.

Warmest Regards,

Florent ;)

Beautiful shots, the lava tubes are my favourite.

Did you do any time lapse sequences whilst you were there? It looks like very epic country side, it would have lent itself beautifully to to time lapse.

Thanks for sharing.
