About This is one of the many monumental rock group formations in Monument Valley called The Mittens. This valley is so vast that, like the Grand Canyon, photos can be hazy because of the distances. I had varied weather in the days I was there. Some were sunny, some were raining and some were overcast. This was one of those sunny, rainy and overcast days. :) Hey... at least it wasn't snowing although I'd love to go back there and see it with snow on it.... but at least I didn't freeze for this one. :) Thank you all for taking the time to view and comment on my images. Cheers - Ann :)

To the Navajo, this valley holds spiritual power. I think you've captured some of it in this shot. A magical place, difficult to photograph, you've done a fine job. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for dropping by and for taking time to comment Michael.

Kri-yi-yi you have been everywhere...

Like you, I like visiting the National Park System, and noticed some common locations. Great shot, hard to get a dramatic feel when you have haze and other stuff to deal with.

Going to continue browsing, I like to see shots from other usefilmers at the same locations I have visited.

For inspiration, you can check out Patrick Di Fruscia. He has a Monument Valley shot that blows your socks off.

Having lived in AZ, I love the southwest. I love the landscape of Monument Valley and this is a classic view.. After looking at the image, I was wondering what you were focusing on? Seems like the foreground is more in focus than than rock formations. The image came out pretty nice considering it was overcast and hazy...

Beautiful colors, nice perspective with the symmetrically captured three rocks. You could add something individual to the well-known landscape. Greetings, Gyorgy

Beautiful view of the 'mittens' as they're called, especialy when you drop down from that scary mountain road! A skylight filter is essential on such days where the refractive index of the air is high, robbing the image of both contrast and saturation. Early morning or dusk is the best time to capture Monument Valley. Better still, camp out there :). This image wants me to go back there... I guess I should give in and go!

hi, i love this with the hazy look...adds to the spiritual atmosphere IMO.....very sacred ground which i hope to visit on a full moon night...
very well composed,Ann.....like the rich earthy hues which bring to mind my ancestors ;>
I'm a big fan of B/W,but not for spiritscapes!

Great capture Ann, I believe this would equally look good converted to grayscale (B&W) with the right amount of contrast for a moody & dramatic result. Thanks much for taking the time to view my images, happy shooting & cheers.

The hazyness you have describe only adds depth to the picture. Wouldn't have noticed it if you did'nt say. What a beautiful photo. The reds are very rich and love the rock formations. As alway another wonderful capture.

Hey Ann, great shot here. I love the color and the shapes. I might be tempted to play with the color a little, but it's really great.

Ann - just read your boigraphy and looked at some of your shots. My only complaint being that you are too modest!! Your shots are beautiful, well composed, magical and it does NOT have to do with the scene! Well done. Very sought after and impressive sounding lifestyle you seem to have too. Enjoy.
Kind regards
Shirley

Majestic landscape, Ann! The colors and the perspective are fantastic! I actually likethat bit of haze, it gives a sense of distance. Beautifully composed, it's an awesome sight! Do I see a giant lizard hiding behind that rock?

Ann Nida Ann Nida   {K:45248} 11/4/2005
Funny you should do that Douglas. I do have a B&W copy and almost posted that one but posted the colour instead. Don't know why. I think people relate and almost expect MV to have the red colours so I left it as is. Can post the B&W another day though.

Thank you for taking the time to view and comment.

Cheers - Ann :)

Hi Rob,

I really should try to photograph all my subjects in 3's just to remain in keeping with the rule of 3rds. :)

Yes we do get around quite a bit. I believe we are nomadic gypsies at heart and love it that way.

Thanks for stopping by. Cheers - Ann :)
