it's pretty simple, actually. you need pretty low light. Set the camera for a long exposure, like 20, 30, 60 seconds. I set the camera for a 10 second delay, and a 30 second exposure. so I hit the trigger, went and sat down, sat there for 15 seconds, then walked out of the frame. Depending on how much of the exposure you're there for will determine how well you show up, plus any lighting that affects it. (the camera picks up a ton of light in 30 seconds... back there was actually so dark I almost fell down the two steps from the porch when I walked out, lol)

Oh!
It was a neat little spot. that valley has some water so things were growing there, most of Nevada is just brush and dirt, except in the few places that have water, and the higher elevations that are cooler.
NV is very different from the midwest and the east... you really don't know open and empty until you've been here. it looks kind of brown on google earth, but there's a certain beauty to it when you're on the ground. And I love the climate of Carson City, not too hot in the summer, not too cold in the winter, it's about perfect. Las Vegas can get to be crazy hot, wandering around the construction site on Thursday in 105 heat wasn't much fun at all, the hard hat is kind of like your personal green house
the rest of the pics I've gotten up so far:

(more to come, i took 473 pictures in 4 days)

What kind of bird is it that's on the top of the cactus in some of the picture?

Of the 473 pictures I took, I'll probably post ~200, and maybe 50 of them will be good to great, if experience holds... if you think that's alot, the week I went to LA, San Diego, and Death Valley national park, I took 1400 photos, actually filled my 4 GB memory card at one point
Also, I have no idea what kind of bird that is, it was there as we drove by, I just know it's got some serious looking claws if you zoom in enough to see them. it was sitting on a joshua tree, the area I took those pictures has thousands of those joshua trees, which only grow at certain elevations and in the southwest. (California has a joshua tree national park, not too far from Vegas)
you can actually see a reflection in the eyes

I think it's either a hawk or a falcon. I asked my husband to look at the picture and he thinks hawk. Cool looking bird, in any case.
