What could be better than a location where you can spend the whole day in a limited area, easily walk around with your gear anywhere you want to go and not even begin to run out of great subject matter?
This is a new location for me.. and I'm keepin' it secret (well, if someone asks, I'll tell). It was raining so hard on my way here, that I was sure the whole day would be a washout, but it luckily started to lighten up just after I arrived in the late morning. For this scene, I was waiting between rain showers and sticking close to the car, so I pulled out my digital cam and tripod and shot 17 vertical frames, which were later stitched into this panorama. It creates a good overview of the site, whereas most of my other samples are more detail oriented, so this is a good one to start with. The mid ground area, at this distance, might be mistaken for red sand dunes... and it is in a way, but the dunes are actually petrified into solid rock. Unbelievable texture and color...really, really good for climbing around and shooting lots of different compositions, which I did for the remainder of the day after the rain finally quit.

Excellent. How I love the red rock. Panoramas are fun.
Beautiful rock textures. I downloaded the photograph and boosted it fullscreen. I lost a bit of precision but got a much better idea of your work IMHO.
Very good.
Thanks Roger. I'm thinking to try a full size print of this one over the holiday when I have some extra time. First I have to reprocess it at full resolution, though:(
