Larry writes about his image: It took a bit of patience to wait for the sun to move far enough west to finally light Bridal Veil Falls. As it did, the moon started to rise. Valley View is a parking lot at the west end of Yosemite Valley. Shot in February 2022, this is a Focus Stack of 3 images to ensure a sharp focus from the front of the scene to the back. 1/75 sec, ISO 160, f/18, 16mm. Fuji X-T4 on a tripod.
Rudy writes about his image: The image was taken in Nevada at The Valley of Fire State Park. The early morning light really helps bring out the unusual colors of the rock formations. The image was shot using a Canon 5D camera with a 24mm lens.

Congratulations, Rudy, on a spectacular image! Watch for his winning photo in the Daily Courier!
Larry says of his image: At 14 degrees outside it was a good time to play with some steel wool spinning. Black ice made it hard to stand. We put down some sand from outside of this underpass to help the Spinner. Shooting this in a confined concrete space is safest as the burning steel wool ejects larger pieces from time to time and could become a fire hazard for hair and the surrounding areas. Don’t do this unless you know what you’re doing and have a safe place to do so.
Jim says about his image: ”Looking Up” was taken at Reinhart Volunteer Park (All Sports Park). Taken with a zoom lens on a full-frame camera set at 460mm and an aperture of f5.6. ISO was 1600 and the shutter speed was 1/400th of a second handheld with vibration reduction on the lens. I sometimes see this particular ‘pose’ when there is a bird of prey overhead.
