More from Moab and Beyond...

I promised in my last post that I'd post some shots actually from Moab. But first, a small diversion to our favorite stop along on way, the Paria Plateau near Page, AZ.

#1 Welcome to Mars
IMG_9760_1_2_small.jpg

#2 Shutter (aka, jdryan3) lines up his shot, and provides a sense of scale for this one

#3 Moving right along to Moab, here's the standard Turret Arch through the Window shot.
IMG_0743.jpg

#4 Here's the non-standard Turret Arch through the Window shot. :wink
IMG_0774_5_6.jpg

#5 I turned around just in time to see this.
IMG_0786_7_8_copy.jpg

#6 Everybody was grousing about the bad light at Dead Horse Point that morning, and yet there are more shots posted from there than anywhere else. I don't think people realized what they had until they saw the shots. I know I didn't.

#7 On the last day of the shootout we drove up into the La Sal Mountains and found foliage and variable weather which made for interesting shots.

#8

#10

#11 The trip back down was a blur

Thanks for looking.

    Thank you, sir! I'm sure you realize it was your zippy driving down the mountainside that created that blur. rolleyes1.gif

    At least not your favorite ones.

    I got to get out to that Horseshoe Bend someday- that shot looks so nice.

    Thanks, but you're talking about my other thread then, right? That's Dead Horse Point in this thread and is in Utah. HB is in Page, AZ. Here's a shot of it with a boat. :D

    Awesome! Great stuff. The 1st and 4th are my faves. I hiked down into that little shooting area in the Window, but I was getting some dirty looks from folks due to that "This is not a path!" sign that was there. Guess I should have went with you all due to the strength in numbers. :)

    Thanks very much, James. I wasn't kidding when I said you inspired me. I tried the HDR settings you posted as a baseline and got some great results, with or without some variations, depending on the shot. So thanks for posting them!

    Great! clap.gif Once you start, you'll never look back! I find that I will pull -1/0/+1 exposures from most of my RAWs now and process them in Photomatix. Adds more processing time, but gives great results. :D

    Great shots F-Stop. #5, #8 & #11 are my favorites. #2 is cool since it gives you the other view from the one ISO took of me in the foreground (F4 Voyage thread) and you in the back ground shooting me.

    Here is my view:
    401152407_bQ5gu-L.jpg

    And with the correct orientation:
    401152669_Am4y5-XL.jpg

    #5 would make a great avatar BTW
