The Showdown by Stephen Anderson
Stephen writes about his image:
I took the photograph during a workshop at Don Donnelly’s D-Spur Ranch in Gold Canyon, Arizona on January 12, 2024, at 5:37 pm. This working cattle ranch provided a superb opportunity to photograph the riding skills of cowboys and cowgirls on an active ranch. Capturing the rider against a setting sun was a challenge. I used a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and a Canon 100-400 mm zoom lens with settings of ISO 5000, f/9.0, 1/1000 sec. The Wild Rivers Photography Club has been a great resource for learning opportunities available locally and at remote locations.

The Way Forward by Larry Pollock
Larry writes about his image:
Returning on October 9, 2023, to Lower Antelope Canyon after a 12-year hiatus, it still held all the beauty, light, and magic I remembered. This slot canyon leads into Lake Powell, Arizona. Tours are run by Navajo Nation-authorized tour companies. Due to its worldwide popularity, Antelope Canyon is busy. Our guide gave us plenty of latitude to take photos while our group of ten moved through the narrow passages up to 150 feet below the surface of the desert.
I have a love for black and white photography, taking the red rocks and pairing them down to the essence of light and textures. This image was handheld using my Fuji X-T4, Fuji 16-55mm f/2.8 lens.
