Hi All.
Yes, this was a couple of images (2 f stops apart) stack. But, darn it, I may have dim the light too much, like Jim said. I was tired yesterday when I was processing it so give me a break
The sand is deep in a few places but with a good 4x4 everyone can make it. I didn\'t have a 4x4 so I hired a guide that took me to this place (oh and no, he didn\'t deflate his tired at all, no need for that). I stayed there over the night too. Man, it was a bit freaky running around it at night. There was not a soul there, just some coyotes fighting or hunting (the noise was terrible). But I didn\'t care, I was taking shots like crazy. I had only about 1 hour to take my Milky Way shots because the Moon was rising. It finally did and Milky Way faded away. But I\'ve got several good MW images. I also took advantage of the 3/4 bright Moon and continue shooting with it up. It was a great trip. But, like I said I didn\'t know the place (and the most appealing locations) so next time I go I\'ll wait at the right place for the right light.
The image has correct lighting. Nothing wrong with the little hills being illuminated by the sun. The sun isn\'t whole either, just it\'s small porting breaking through the rock in the upper right. I just should have left it brighter and all would look more natural. So, good eyes to you guys, now I too see the problem. What was I thinking?
Anyway, I may go there again and at one point organize my nightly workshop there. I actually have all arranged already. This place is too good looking and I\'m sure lots of us here would love to go and spend a night there. I have so many ideas about kind of images, composition etc. etc. we\'d take there (at night and day). I\'ll post some of my Milky Way shots little later today or tomorrow so you can see what I\'m talking about.
I also went to Arches NP, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon and a few \"secret\" places you don\'t normally know/hear about. The guide I hired (only for white pocket) took me to some off road location I didn\'t know existed. I\'ll post some cool rocky formation shots from these places also...
