"Nice image - a little bleached looking however -- lighting conditions?" 7568

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)." 5835

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" 6869

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.

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." 6343

"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" 6032

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" 6265

jack gilbert of Toronto thought on 3/13/2002 that this photo was superb and added the following:
"I love photographing God's creations, the flowers.I wonder why you have not decided to use a high end digital camera and Photoshop. This remarkable combination brought me back to photography. There is instant gratification in taking a photo ,downloading on computer,manipulating in photoshop and printing in minutes.See my flowers on www.photographybyjackgilbert.com.Having viewed many of your pics it is evident you are a superp photographer and I think you should employ this to a fuller degree in the digital world. Congratulations. JACK" 2968

An anonymous visitor thought on 1/26/2002 that this photo was okay and added the following:
"The reflections are the most interesting part of the shot, I think." 2918

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." 2986

Rebecca of SDSU at the moment thought on 4/27/2001 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following:
"I like it, but I don't like the quotation marks around 'interesting.' I like the pic b/c it reminds me of home, with all the different colors of dirt and the way it's piled up in mountains with the sky behind it. Looks like home, I miss that..." 3908

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 4/7/2001 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 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." 3908
