Great photo. I have been by Shiprock many times in the 70's, but with 4 or 5 kids on the way to and from Grandmaw's. Never stopped for pictures. I say again "Great Photo".

Beauty of a shot!

Wow.
Any idea of the height of Shiprock? Got to be pretty high for clouds to be forming around it.
Again. I have to think of all the erosion that has taken place over the eons. And where did it all go? Yea, I know, down the creekscto the rivers, to the ocean to become sedimentary rock.
Then, on the other hand, just how hard is the rock of the dike that it is still there.
Somebody tell me these thoughts pass through your minds.

Wikipedia says that "Shiprock is a monadnock rising nearly 1,583 feet (482.5 m) above the high-desert plain", and that it's about 27 million years old. What Wiki does not tell us, however, is how the heck one would pronounce 'monadnock', or whether there are such things as 'duoadnocks' or 'triadnocks' or even 'octoadnocks', so one might be advised to take that supposed 1,583 feet tall business with a potential grain of salt.

What's more, some of the Navajo myths and stories about 'ol Tse sort of... um..... contradict each other, but admittedly, a lot of erosion can happen in 27 million years, so.........

Whether you are down low or up high, you certainly get great shots.

I absolutely loved your shot of Shiprock and think it's one of the best photographs I've seen in a long while. I loved it even before I clicked on download but then after viewing it on download I thought it was spectacular.
Thanks for sharing it with us, David

Superb both in technique and in composition. Love that rock. . . .

Thanks:
for the response.
for the information.
for the time you spent to look up that Info for me.
You sir, are a walking encyclopedia of normal and obscure subjects.

I'm gonna get it through my gray matter one of these days to use that on-line encyclopedia.
Humm, maybe if I'd grown up with a set in our house, I might be more inclined to log in. Oops, rambling again.

This is Ron in Maine, rlovaglio@roadrunner.com. I commented earlier on how stunning your Shiprock image is. I’ve never seen one this dramatic and where it captures the whole of it, the towering rock, the dike, the prairie grass, and unique weather. God, I can keep going on. I’d love to speak with you to learn some of the technical details you employed behind the image. Camera, lens, settings, post processing, composition, what you were thinking about capturing the image. That’s how I learn to maybe become a better photographer myself—study the great ones. Thanks.

Good find!

Thanks, Ron.

And by extension, 'thank you' to others who've also commented. Heck I'll even say 'thanks' to others who wrote that the image in this post is the bestest thing --or is, at least, the bestest pic of Shiprock-- they've ever seen (insert gold trophy cup emoji here), and (even though they didn't come right out and say so) the picture is actually even better-er than sliced bread!

Ok, that bit of nicey-nicety out of the way, let's get back to you, Ron in Maine. Can you speak with me? Sure, why not. Be sure to have lots of rolls of quarters handy, though, because you will NOT want to have the deeply affective conversation we'd be having cut off in mid-sentence because some silly AI operated operator demanded you drop another quarter in the slot! Quelle horeurs!

But even if we did get cut short at some point --like maybe less than a tenth of the way into all the gems and pearls and certified eleventy-nine carat gold-plated wisdoms I'd have been (exclusively) imparting to you--, you'd still have gained so many insights and revelations (re: ptfoggerfy) that your head would be swimming for minutes (and hours and days and decades), maybe too. So along with amassing all those quarters, you might want to have some water wings handy to keep your head above water, too, y'know?

AI operated Operator: Please drop another quarter in the slot.
You: B-b-but I don't HAVE another quarter! And I'm close, SO CLOSE, to learning that Cany143 used a CAMERA! Can I put this next quarter on my credit card?????
