Lake Mead

Lake Mead

One of our favorite ATV riding places is just across the Utah/Nevada border past Bunkerville. Here is a shot of Lake Mead, and at this northern viewpoint, is accessible by 40 miles of dirt roads and ATV trails. A few days ago, the closely controlled and measured lake shrunk to its lowest point since Hoover Dam was completed in 1936.

Such an oasis in the dessert.

There looks like the top of a sunken luxury ship! Amazing photo shot. I wonder if you did some PS here, how do you make those minutest detail to be so sharp?

Lovely landscape. It is a worry about the falling level of water.

Absolutely magnificent shot. I am in awe.

'Kalantikan', I've been very impressed with my new little mirrorless Fuji x-t1. It has a setting to adjust the sharpness which I have bumped up a bit. Most all my images go to Lightroom and sometimes PS, some with just a little adjustment, others with alot. I think on this one I adjusted the contrast to bring out the reflections in the water.
