Good stuff Danny. Thanks for making the trek up to Tucson it was great to shoot with you again.

Really like the light in the last shot!

Awesome series! I'm glad you guys were able to get up there.

I like the glow on the edge of the cactus in that last one. What time of day was this taken?

Schnauzer

Really nice Dan

How bout considering converting one of the building shots you have left over. I'd love to see a high contrast B&W

Looks like you guys had a fun shoot.

Never been to this place before but from the pictures it kind of reminds me of the Mesa Verde National Park a little bit. Great pictures, Dan!

Thanks Allen. I just looked at the Mesa Verde sight. Very similar indeed.

Late to the Party but nonetheless some outstanding work and I'm envious

Great images. Got that wow factor down. Looks like they're straight out of National Geographic. How about telling us a little about what gear you used. Some of the images look a little bit like HDR's...or pseudo HDR's.

Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more pics.

Most shots were taken with the 5DII and 24-70. I did take a couple with the 7D and the 70-200. Also I did process a few of these in HDR because I wanted some dramatic effects. Glad you like them Ed

Nice work Dan,
Great to meet you. Hope to see you on some more shoots in the future. Maybe not such a strenuous hike next time though, Huh?
Wasn't too bad of a trek, you did a great job.
I heard you back there telling Ryan... "Why are all the great places to shoot so hard to get to?"
Aint that the truth!
