Monument Valley With The New D500
Jun 10, 2016 12:57:44 #
Hi All,
Just got back from Monument Valley (Hot and Hazy) and wanted to post a couple of images with the new D500. All shot using a Tokina 16-50 f2.8. Reasonably happy for the first go, particularly with the weather. Lots of haze (summer heat and AZ forest fires).

Excellent series. Three is very dramatic but all three are exceptionally nice.

Thanks for posting. These shots prove the D500 is not just for sports and wildlife. Just like beer is no longer just for breakfast!

Yes, I'm jealous!! We drove through MV but did not see those "windows." Did you take a special guided tour? Very nice photography.

Yes Steve,
I don't think you can't get into the "Back Country" unless you hire a Navajo guide. My wife and I did a private tour with Majestic Monument Valley Tours in a Hummer. A lot better than the 16 passenge open truck ("Shake and Bake") which we have also done. They were excellent.

That's the way to go!! There's a lot we missed when we were there before. We'll have to go back again. I did get one nice shot, actually from the parking lot as the sun was going down.

Thanks.....If that was the hotel inside the park, it was the parking lot of the hotel where I got this photo.

I thought so, until I saw yours!! We got there at 4:00 and drove the circuit, stopping to take photos, and finished just as the sun was setting behind that monument. Next time, I want to be there for two full days so I can get all the various light conditions as well as see more, as you did.
I don't know if they do it, but I'd love to take a horseback tour through MV.
