Arizona 2011

[threeholerglory]

I'll post much more as I shoot out here in the Phoenix area, but here's a couple to start...next week I'll be taking a drive up to the Grand Canyon and Antelope Cave..at least that's the plan.

Great shots. Looking forward to seeing more.

Good stuff! I love Arizona, a target rich environment. Do not forget to get N757HW if you are over at KPHX.

making the trek up to Page for the night to shoot Horseshoe Bend and perhaps a few other spots around the desert up there and in Utah...stand by for pics!

[cancidas]

one more tease for the time being, though I think it may be the best of the lot....

The cut-off river really bothers me.

[threeholerglory]

your ugly face really bothers me.

[gonzalu]

Yeah Mike, what's up with the disrespect of 'da Canyon? huh? LOL

Great set, and the last one does NOT have a plane in it, how dare you.

i was hoping fred could drop in some fighters....welsh value mach loop style! fred? care to play?

speaking of that type of view, it's freaking COOL to see hawks circling below you....no matter how many times you see it from an airplane it's NOTHING compared to standing on that cliff seeing it....truly incredible

Mike, that shot is F-in amazing! Looks like you ripped a page straight out of National Geographic! Awesome work man!

[threeholerglory]

thank's Steve! I probably heard "oh my God" in at least 10 different languages while I was there.....it was REALLY unbelievable

If you want to see stuff like that you will need to post in the photoshop thread in the future!

Nexttime do not cut off the river!

[threeholerglory]

alright alright while I work on the others, here's a re-work. I don't normally like a 4:3 crop but it may just have to stay that way with this one...thoughts?

Glen Canyon Dam turbines

Interesting effect using 22mm lens and doing a pano...that's the Glen Canyon Dam (bigger than the Hoover by volume) and an associated bridge to the right

and a 12 panel, 36 exposure HDR panorama....the final edit is over 4' wide which can easilly be made to extend into the 20' wide range...incase anyone wants a copy...ya know.

check back, I should have a few more in the next couple days!

[steve1840]

I love that 22mm pano shot out of the windows overlooking the dam. Cool stuff! I gotta say, the more photos of your AZ trip I see, the more you are making me want to jump on a plane out to PHX.

love the colors there!! awesome!

[threeholerglory]

thanks everyone! and Steve, these were up near Page, about a 4 hour drive north of PHX if you're doing 85-90 the whole way. I know this isn't an issue for you, but it may be easier to go into KLAS :tongue:

What are you trying to say? I drive fast?? Lol Well.....you'd be correct! And If I rented the Camaro, I could probably make it there in 3 hours :tongue:.


Anyway, if I were to go out there, I would more than likely fly into PHX anyway so that I could do some spotting there, and shoot over to Goodyear. Also, if I go, I want to take an entire week so that I can shoot down to Tucson also and take the tour of the Davis Monthan boneyard and go to the Pima air museum. I haven't been there since I was a kid with a little "point and shoot" film camera.
