Here’s a new one I recently finished from the Slot Canyons in Arizona. This is in the Upper Antelope area. I spent about half the day in there with a guide. I got a ridiculous number of photos and I’m obviously still processing them, many years later!
I just love the shapes and textures of the slot canyons… the light down there ain’t half bad either!
The calmness of this scene from near here in Queenstown does not reflect the recent weather AT ALL. Landslides, floods… and a cryptosporidium outbreak to top it off (fortunately, I’ve not experienced that!). Hopefully normal awesome NZ life will resume soon. 🙂
Ahh… the good old NEX-7 adventures… fun times!
I was reading about that new Sony a7CR, compact full frame model. It reminds me a lot of the old NEX-7. I had some awesome adventures with that, it never let me down (e.g. the image below). So I can only imagine the full frame equivalent being fantastic… maybe it’s time to step away from the standard R series… hmmm…
Sometimes you spend ages finding a shot and sometimes things just align as if they were always meant to be that way…
Next up on the 3 day trek home… Auckland. Which reminds me that I really need to go there and spend a good week or so exploring. I’m there often but 99% of the time it’s basically a hub to use for exit/entry to NZ. So this is about the only image I’ve processed from there. That needs to change!
Is this place hot?
Yes.
Did I dump a bottle of water on my head every 15 minutes?
Yes.
Was I completely dry for 14 minutes between each dumping?
Yes.
Choppy landed here by this remote lake for a bit while I jumped out to take photos. It was so fun, and I felt lucky there was a bit of snow up high to give some more colors to the scene.
The shapes in Monument Valley are right out of all the westerns you watched when you were a kid. So, when I was there for the first time it was a bit surreal. Now, I know many reading will have been there several times and they are experts at this area… but it was all fresh and new to me! As long as there are good clouds, I think it is relatively easy to get a good shot here! Sort of a lay-up, I think! Some photos you have to work really really hard for… and those are fine… but I also like a few of these that make themselves a bit easier.
