p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · In the Fire Wave

In Valley of Fire (as many of you know) this small beauty is well-discovered. I visited here for a sunset and quite enjoyed the lovely weather and diminishing light. This shot was taken down in the bowl of colorful sandstone with my 17mm tilt shift lens. I really like how this lens is sharper at the corners than my 16-35/2.8L. So, if you like the corner sharpness, that's why.

Very nice Gordon! Tilt shifts really let you compose what would otherwise be a difficult orientation with a regular lens.

Nice sweeping patterns. It's such a beautiful, photogenic area. I was so bummed I didn't get a chance to visit there again a few months ago when I was nearby in Las Vegas.

Very nice rendition of the Bacon Wave. I like how the sandstone swirls in from the lower corners.

I find that to be true. The corner sharpness and less vignetting are the other major advantages. I still use my 16-35 but not every time I want to get a wide-angle shot.
Thanks for the comment.

I only hope you spent your time doing some other great stuff. There is a lot to do and see. Please come back again.

Thanks Ben. The idea of my composition was to really get into the wave itself and make you feel encircled by it swirling lines and colors. I kept some sky in the upper picture to give some orientation anchor to the shot so that it would not delve into abstract photography.
