The two photos above are from a canyon near Monument Valley. The photo on the left shows the canyon wall and a natural 'cave' a quarter the way up the face on the center left. Into this shallow cave the ancient Anasazi Indians built a home. The close-up is the photo on the right. Ruins such as these are generally inaccessible by their very nature, and where accessibility is possible, they are protected by fences.
The next two photos are of the Mittens looking out from the parking lot of the Navajo Centre and Hotel. The images were taken as the sun set approached behind us. They are different photos than the one posted in the blog of April 20th, but they are all from the same photo event. The two below have been processed on my home computer with Lightroom and Nik software. I can do a better processing job a home compared to my 13 inch Mac Book Pro on the road.
The colour of the sandstone changed as the level of light fell and the red of the sunset became stronger. Although it doesn't look like it, the exposure on the lower picture is 50 time longer than the upper picture. It was very noticeably darker when the lower photo was taken. The camera adjusts for this on average by taking a longer exposure. The lighting effects are quite different between the photos. Which do you like better?
