We planned this photo trip before scheduling our sabbatical to Australia and New Zealand and then ended up with only 2 weeks between the trips. Great opportunity to break in hiking boots and a new camera - Canon EOS 5D Mark II. The secret to good photos - no sleep. Arise well before sunrise and stay up well after sunset so you're ready for the magic light. This was taken a few minutes after sunrise in Monument Valley.

Always been a problem for me, getting up before dawn, which I guess is why I'm not a world-class photographer...
ReplyDeleteGreat picture, BTW.
The other secret is to stay up all night and watch the sunrise.
