Lonely Highway - Revisited

Uploaded: June 28, 2011

Description

Monument Valley, around mile marker 14 in Utah, looking south. This was originally a landscape orientation at 3200 x 2400 and I inverted it to 2400 x 3200 for the elongated effect. Give it a try on some of your landscape orientations...

F4, 1/60th sec, ISO 200, 105mm focal length

Exif: F Number: 4, ExposureTime: 1562/100000 seconds, ISO: 200, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

This is one place I hope to visit next year, Ken. I've seen the horizontal version many times, but not the vertical. Really like the composition, wonderful lighting and superb colors. Deb #9492238
