Lonely Highway - Revisited
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

  I am actually quite partial to vertical comps, and this one really makes the image dramatic, Ken! I'm putting this place on my bucket list!

  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
