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

    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!

    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 Edthumb.gif

    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!
