Bruce Wilson of Provo, UT thought on 7/17/2007 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"Not a shot I'm proud of, because the light was low and I had what appears to be some color crossover, likely due to color developer exhaustion (didn't replenish at a high enough rate)." 3951

Donald 187 thought on 5/30/2006 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"Personally I think it is Sclerocactus cloveriae which until recently was a part of parviflorus and whipplei. Its description can be found in journals written by Heil. Not completely opening flowers similar to whipplei but magenta. Spine very similar to parviflorus but more corky. I think its Sclerocactus cloveriae." 7736

Maxim of Ohio thought on 10/30/2005 that this photo was okay and added the following:
"I would step to the right and turn a bit to the left - so the bush will move to the left of the picture and the larger peak a bit to the right. I don't like them being almost aligned along a vertical line, I would prefer them to form a diagonal. Personal taste. :)" 6392

"Shadow. This is a north-facing panel in Buckhorn Wash, and rarely sees sunlight. Exposure and contrast were set by my digital camera. I have shot this with a 4x5 on Velvia at http://wilson.dynu.net/photo.asp?Photo_ID=6942" 7567

Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 1/9/2005 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"It would sure be a good test of color. Note that this version has the typical blue/red intersection "mosquito noise" typical of .jpg's. Use it if you like, but I can get you a proper .bmp if you send me you email address (send it to [email protected], click on my name). If you use it, please put "(c)Bruce Wilson" on it in clear text. Bruce, KD7VEM " 6263

Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 10/20/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"No enhancement here. I got the blue by shooting this toward the end of an overcast day. The blue skylight was quite rich, and the darkness helped me get a long exposure (about 1/3 to 1/2 second)." 5832

Bruce Wilson thought on 10/20/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"Another one shot in overcast skylight. The 4x5 is great, but I've never managed to get the colors right in an R3 print." 5945

Benjamin J Wilson thought on 8/19/2004 that this photo was like, Wow, you know, totally mind-blowing and added the following:
"Hey Dr. Wilson, I had no idea that you were a photographer. This picture is awesome! Those clouds look like they were painted. Very good work. Thanks again for writting me a letter of evaluation, and preparing me for the DAT. So far on my practice DAT's I have got an 18 or better. See around this semester. Ben Wilson" 6865

Dorde Woodruff of SLC thought on 5/30/2004 that this photo was good and added the following:
"A pretty, neat flower on Sclerocactus parviflorus, not S. whipplei, which is a smaller plant, doesn't grow here, and rarely becomes cylindrical. The common name for S. parviflorus is a translation of the Latin, "small-flowered fishhook cactus", or more properly, "small-flowered little barrel cactus", a misnomer, since this species has small flowers only in comparison to the giant of the genus, S. polyancistrus of California. " 4196

Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 2/23/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"This is shot through a Cokin blue/yellow polarizer. I was just holding it in front of the lens as best I could, but wasn't aligned very well. In the end I liked the effect, so left it full-frame. Sort of an unintentional vignette, much like the very early field cameras that used lenses with small image circles. I've tried printing similar shots, but always come back to this one." 6341

Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 2/23/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"I shot this about 10 minutes before sunrise from the balcony at Bryce Point. The haze is from a large fire burning about 20 miles to the north, which settled into the valleys during the still night." 7323

swede of Gothenburg, Sweden thought on 9/8/2003 that this photo was totally cool, dude and added the following:
"I've Hiked Mt Timp 3 times and it is the most spectacular view in Utah. Also Snowboarded it 2 times in winter by far the biggest visiting spot in Utah. Swede Steven Andersson" 6031

Lauren Anderson of Ogden, UT thought on 5/22/2003 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following:
"It's a fascinating picture; great representation of the scale and steepness of the trail, makes me want to go there. The picture seems a little underexposed and saturated with reds and oranges. It would be nice to see it lightened a little in PhotoShop." 5521

Cemal Ekin of Rhode Island thought on 11/24/2002 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"I saw Byrce Canyon for the first time last December. It took my breath away. Then, again in May and I was blown away one more time. Although I came close to seeing the sentinel, I could not go down far enough to see it. Thank you for sharing this extremely good photograph with us all. This is probably better than what I would ahve seen on that cloudy day. I may take another trip there since my doughter and son-in-law are in SLC. You live in a wonderful country there. Regards, Cemal" 6263

Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 3/14/2002 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"Thanks, Theo. It's okay to use as your own desktop. I guess those trees really are out of focus, and I took another look at the big version, looks like th ebarn is in sharp focus, but the Teton mountains in the background were out of focus a bit." 6025

Bruce Wilson thought on 7/14/2001 that this photo was good and added the following:
"Shots like this is why I always carry a 24mm wide-angle lens. You may have noticed that most shots in magazines like National Geographic are shot with wide-angle lenses. These lenses give a very nice sense of both subject and surroundings. Just remember to keep these rectilinear lenses pointing exactly horizontally to prevent convergence." 2984

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/19/2001 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following:
"It is a macro shot (using a 25mm extension tube), and using the angle finder. Angle finders are essential for getting shots that most people don't see, because you can get your camera in odd locations (on the gorund looking up) and using the finder still see what you're shooting. Were I to do this again I's stop down a little more and keep everything in focus. Most macro photography has a depth of field problem. I think it's usually done to keep the background fuzzy. It's much better to stop down then remove the background with black velvet . With an angle finder you get sky in the background, and fuzzy sky is still sky. This shot was done on a tripod (set very low), but I had to keep the shutter speed high because the wind was blowing and moving the subject." 3310

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/11/2001 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"This tree, at Palisades State Park north of Sious Falls SD, has troubled me for years. I've shot it dozens of times, in varying lights, from all kinds of angles, but I've never gotten it right. This is one of the better color shots. The B&W shots are better, but still not there." 3312

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/7/2001 that this photo was okay and added the following:
"I guess by now you've seen I like the play of deep shadow on objects illuminated by the evening sun. This is an old road grader (used mostly for snow removal, I suspect). Some depth-of-field problems, but nice colors." 3471

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/7/2001 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following:
"I've always liked this shot, even thought there is a focus problem, and a slight imbalance in the composition. The light that afternoon was perfect, though. Shot outside the Madison SD Prarie Village antique tractor pull and all-around good time, this was the preparation for the ploughing contest. The train in the mid-gound is an old Arco switcher (about 1000 HP) that pulled four cards full of passengers around the site. The silos in the background are a nice reminder we are in the prarie. The shot could be fixed had I waited another moment for the engine to move about eight more feet, creating a line from the silos, thrjought the cab of the engine, to the head of the farmer. And closing down the shutter would have fixed the focus problem. Maybe next time." 3136

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/7/2001 that this photo was quite beyond his capacity to understand and added the following:

"This is my favorite shot form Armorgeddon X." 2747

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/7/2001 that this photo was good and added the following:
"South Dakota, due to the extremely flat land here, has the most wonderful evening light. Rich in color but still quite bright, the light just before sunset is the photographers 'majical 20 minutes'. Take a juned old tractor, wait for the light, and you get a pretty-good picture." 3418

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/6/2001 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"This is snow by the side of a dirt road. The grass just didn't stand out enough in the photo. Had I done this on sheet film I would have given in N+2 development to enhance the contrast. This is also underexposed a stop." 3414

Bruce Wilson of Brookings SD thought on 4/6/2001 that this photo was good and added the following:
"Shot last Fall, I still think this is a Spring picture. Maybe it's the woman's dress." 3021

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/6/2001 that this photo was blah and added the following:
"...er, that should have said, "the ground is still too wet to leave the pavement."" 3310

Bruce Wilson of Brookings SD thought on 4/5/2001 that this photo was good and added the following:
"I have a real fondness for this picture. I got the reflections in the 'grill', but not me! Colors are nice, too." 3489

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/5/2001 that this photo was okay and added the following:
"This picture was shot the last week of February, 2000. Can you believe the difference this year? The second week of April and the snow is just thawing. The ground is still to we to leave the pavement. This is the city park in Bushnell, just East of Brookings." 3310

Bruce Wilson of Brookings SD thought on 4/5/2001 that this photo was superb and added the following:
"Shot at the Estelline SD Quarry north of town. It's one of my only surreal pictures. I call it "Still-life with Front-end Loader". I did not fix a slight blue tint the photo got when I scanned it." 3907

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/5/2001 that this photo was good and added the following:
"If it weren't for the poor exposure, this would make a nice ad pic for the marine Corps." 3504

Bruce Wilson of Brookings SD thought on 4/5/2001 that this photo was good and added the following:
"A nice coincidence. The two balloons were being inflated next to each other, and the wind caught them just right to make it look like Smokey was wispering something into the ear of Sarge. Luck was responsible for this shot, not skill, I'm afraid." 3644
