These shots were taken in southern California near the Arizona and Mexican borders.
Looks incredible! How do you even get there? Is it a national park or a trail, or just a few steps away from the highway?

Those taken with Sigma are pretty "wow". Slight "Leica" tint in them.. Quite interesting. 
I guess near MFD focus?

Thanks for the comments.
The Sigma 8-16 lens is a little bit like a high speed car. It needs careful control. You can get both wonderful and terrible perspective shots.In all cases however, it gives you a lot of freedom because the DOF is impressive at any aperture. I find myself often "tweeking" perspective in LR for this lens. While not the sharpest lens in the world, it is wonderfully versatile and takes shots that would be hard to get any other way.
The pictures are taken on public BLM land. (Bureau of Land Mangement) There are two locations represented in the photos which are about sixty miles apart. The first two shots were actually taken on the Arizona side of the Colorado River. You could hike into these areas but the best way is below:
This is the photographers best friend.

Hmm, I'm interested in what camera and lens the middle image was taken with. I'm asking since I'm not used to that flare with the small dots in it. I have seen it in test situations only earlier.

Thank you. Do you often run into situations where you get this dotted flare-related problem?

Hiep, very nice set! What lenses did you use 85/1.4 or 135/1.8?

Wayne, thank you. The first three were actually taken with the ZA 24-70. And the last one was with the Leica 180/2.
