A "Shot in The Dark" with the D500 (Monument Valley)
Jun 16, 2016 13:02:25 #
Hi All,
I posted one of the sunrise images in the Gallery section last week. Here's another in case you missed it. The second I did just for fun. Metadata says 3:30 but Navajo Nation does daylight savings and the rest of AZ doesn't so it was really 4:30am. Total darkness. Set the camera up and pointed where I thought The Mittens were and did a 240 sec exposure at ISO 1600. Looks like there was a little light coming from the hotel (I couldn't see it). Did a little noise reduction ... didn't turn out too bad.

The first shot is absolutely Great.
MONUMENT VALLEY (A NAVAJO TRIBAL PARK) rivals our own National Parks.
Some years ago, I drove through it not knowing what it was. I was stunned by its splendor.
Over 91,000 acres of intense beauty. It is a "Must See".

Thank you Dave,
Being an AZ person you've probably been there? The View Hotel was a bit pricey but you couldn't be "the view."
