This week’s banner image was submitted by Spence Fairbanks. Thanks Spence!
Details from Spence
This picture was taken on the way home from the 4 Peaks wilderness area after finding no wildflowers blooming in the desert near 4 Peaks. I figured it was just too early in the season when I came upon these growing near the Beeline Highway. I did very little processing to the pictures other than decreasing the saturation and some cropping and contrast/brightness adjustments due to the strong afternoon sun.

This week’s banner image belongs to Bob Mishkin. Thanks, Bob!
Image Details From Bob:
This image was taken on Sept 14, 2007 at 6:14 pm. I was with two friends (Howard and Harvey) and we had been shooting in the Seven Springs area of the Tonto National Forest. As we returned home and after we started seeing housing on the north side of the road, we came around the corner and I think ALL three of us said ‘stop’ at the same time. The road was North Cave Creek at the far NE section of Scottsdale, AZ. After all the light was gone and we started driving, about 300 yards further west and around another corner I noticed a lone Saguaro what would have made a great addition to the image. Just the usual very minor levels, saturation, and sharpening in Photoshop.
Camera: Canon 1D Mark IIn
Lens: Canon 100-400
Focal Length 400
Aperture Priority
ISO 640
Exposure: 1/160th sec @ f/16 handheld.

Thanks to all who have submitted images for our banner! You will see a new one at least once a week.
To be a little more clear as to how to crop your images: A quick way to crop is to set the options of your Crop Tool to the exact dimension and then just drag out the crop.
NEXT, you need to keep in mind that the bottom of your image WILL be covered with the tabs so keep this in mind when deciding where to crop. Depending on the image, this will mean that part of your image might not be seen. If your image is mostly light in tones, as in the example below, the image will probably be seen through that bar. If you want your copyright to show, it should be positioned ABOVE this bottom area.
Image before and after
The exact dimensions of this bottom area is 827 pixels by 43 pixels. To see how this will affect your image, you can set your marquis to this size and drag out the selection at the bottom. Look at the second image above to see how that selection will be lightened in order for the tabs to show up.
