Sorry for the corny title - just couldn't resist.My name is Dennis and I just got back into photography after two-decade layoff. I started off in 35mm in 1973 and lugged a couple of bags of gear, cameras, lenses, etc around the world during a 22 year Navy career. I got out of that habit after kids came along and cribs, diaper bags and car seats elbowed out camera gear for room in the car. Also, while my wife was remarkably patient with my stopping and waiting for just the right lighting, dirty-diapered kids were less so.
I got back into photography after my wife "forced" me to buy a DSLR in December of 2008. We'd gone to a camera store to buy a point and shoot for her to use in her antiques and collectibles business and she caught me looking at a couple of DSLRs in the display case. She suggested I check them out 'just for fun", but, when I tried to give them back to the sales person she asked "Which one do you want?" and refused to leave the store until I chose one.
Sadly, I lost Mrs Sea_Dog to cancer six months later, but fortunately she got to see me revive the passion I once had. My gallery is a lasting tribute to her and our love.

Over the last two and a half years, since learning about Renderosity from a friend, has been a continuous learning and discovery process. The artists here are so amazingly talented and inspirational - and extremely friendly. Seeing their work and reading their comments on mine have allowed me to grow as an artist much faster than I could have on my own.

You have a lot of interesting angles going on here, and the color of the sky is great...but it just needs something in that sky to balance the whole composition. Have you thought about dropping in some clouds, or maybe the moon?

Interesting comment; generally I limit my post work to cropping, sharpening, adjusting exposure and some burning and dodging unless I'm going to go full bore into manipulation.

Well congrats on making it to LWITG!!!

I like it the way it is and a good zoom to see the traffic on the switch back. If they have never been to this area - they may not recognize the standard Las Vegas sky!

An absolutely fascinating landscape, nothing like ours ... I should love to travel there and see some more of it, so stark and barren looking - I can easily imagine that those cars have replaced horses and wagons, like they used to feature in most old cowboy movies ;)) fine capture and very interesting result - I like it, Dennis BB
