All shots here were done on Fuji MS100/1000 shot at ISO 400. I don't think the experiment was all that successful. Maybe this film is okay at 100, but the contrast is too high at 400, and the Dmax is too low.

Cian fell in hook, line, and sinker. He was sure he was about to get a Sword of Calontir. He didn't notice Sir Riik, his knight, creeping stealthily up the center aisle...
Then His Majesty said, "But that's not why you're here," and Sir Riik chimed in begging the boon. Cian was completely blown away. It was fun watching that one from behind the thrones

"Bruce, you did it! You have discovered a new population of Papilio indra minori. This is a very fresh specimen so it looks like the flight has just begun where you are. I guess this is the specimen you saw? There must be either Lomatium junceum, L. parryi or Cymopterus terebinthinus in the area for this fresh specimen to be there. Anxious to hear from you again.

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)." 6232

Rivi of Dubai - U.A.E. thought on 10/19/2004 that this photo was superb 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" 7258

Dorde Woodruff of SLC thought on 5/30/2004 that this photo was good and added the following:
"This plant is commonly misidentified, even in floras. It isn't S. whipplei but rather S. parviflorus, first named in the 30s by Clover and Jotter on a river trip, in the Grand Canyon. S. whipplei grows on the Navajo reservation and thereabouts in Northern Arizona, is globular unless very old, smaller, and has yellow flowers. " 4854

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. " 4546

Dorde Woodruff of SLC thought on 5/30/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"this is not Opuntia polyacantha but rather O. basilaris, beavertail. Note that it doesn't have regular spines, just glochids, the fine barbed minature spines. The pads are bluer than O. polyacantha, and a different shape. The plant is more compact. Gorgeous photos! " 5466

Dorde Woodruff of SLC thought on 5/30/2004 that this photo was good and added the following:
"This also appears to be S. parviflorus, but quite a young one. But the petals are narrow than in #8164. It is not S. whipplei, which has yellow flowers and grows in the Navajo reservation area in northern Arizona. The name S. whipplei got widely entrenched in the literature because S. parviflorus wasn't discovered and named until the '30s. " 8221

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." 5919

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.

"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." 6351

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" 3199

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." 3557

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/7/2001 that this photo was quite beyond his capacity to understand and added the following:
"...er, "magical" and "junked" are the words I wanted to use there." 3721

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." 3721

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." 3351

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." 3914
