| Upon arrival in the canyon, as I was preparing to take a picture, I realized that I'd forgotten my tripod! :-( The only decent images in the canyon are taken with available light; a flash makes the rocks look plain and uninteresting. So, I braced myself on the rock and took the several second exposures multiple times (yes, on film!), hoping that a few would come out. While doing that two ladies came next to me, one pointing at the wall I was leaning against. And the other said, "Yes! It IS a black widow spider!" Anyway, a few of my images came out. --mark d. |
