Here is a small sampling of the pictures that I took out in the desert of Moab, Utah. Enjoy! As always, the love/hate/constructive criticism is always welcome and appreciated.

Whoops...didn't mean to include that one....I pulled over and helped her out

 

very nice I like the contrast between the sky and shadow on the 7th image... and I like the last one ( but thats a given )

 

Nice pics

You have a speck of dust on your sensor or lens. Look down and to the right of the moon in this shot:

 

^ haha yup i noticed that as well when i was going through the pictures. i need to get that outta there!

 

^Shouldn't be too hard to make an action to remove it from all your shots (or at least greatly reduce it)

 

wow, never would have caught that spec of dust... crazy...

and yea, beautiful pics... wouldn't have any advice cause i'm an uber newb, but i do think the last one has a minor focus issue... or is that just me ha!

 

are you serious? what's there to hate? maybe i was an isolated case, but the people there seemed to be unusually friendly....

 

Awesome pics!

We go rafting up there every summer. Going back next month.

 

^ very nice! the rivers were incredibly high due to the melt-off from the snow, so the rapids were extra angry! i had a great time going through them...hope you have as much fun as i did!

do you camp out there, or do you grab a hotel? i camped at Hal Canyon off of I-70.

 

We stay at the Red Cliffs Lodge right on the river. July is perfect because the water is comfortable, still high and fast but not crazy, we can run the river twice in two days and stay close. Great times! My father in-law has all the rafts and equipment so we set our own pace.

 

That lodge is ballin man! I stopped there at the half-way point during my rafting to get some burgers and what not. VERY sweet setup that they have there! man i'm jealous now hahahaha....

 

Yeah the place is awesome. My in-laws help pay for it because they still love to raft. Hard to say no, even if it is our one vacation for the year.

 

wow, seriously Luke? not exactly what i was looking for in this thread...

hey man, that is one hell of a vacation if you ask me! i was out there for over a week and it was one of the most relaxing yet exhilarating vacations that i have ever taken. the added bonus of the reduced cost would just make it that much better man, being out there actually made me want a Jeep...haha!

 

No kidding. Fun, relaxing and exciting at the same time.

We have taken our three girls since they were 4, 2 and 2 (yes twins). They love it.
