That looks like an awesome time! As much as I love living in the south, I must admit that I am a bit envious of you guys who live out west. There's so much beauty and amazement out there. I love visiting out west when ever I get the chance, I just don't get to do it often enough.

Monument Valley near Utah Arizona border on the 163 I believe. I took the 261 south to the 163, very cool drive.

Kinda looks like that scene from Forrest Gump when he decides to stop running...

thanks guys. i use an olympus E-PL5 and use only prime lenses. right now i just have 19mm and 30mm sigma art DN lenses with a Hoya CPL. i'll throw it on a tripod and stack my B+W 10 stop ND on the Hoya if i want some daytime long exposure. i shoot in manual and RAW and use manual focus maybe half the time depending on what i'm shooting and how lazy i'm feeling. also mostly shoot hand held unless the shutter speed is slower than around 1/100. i don't shoot multiple exposures so no real HDR. i don't even meter since i use manual everything and judge it with my eyes on the LCD. i find that tweaking it in Lightroom achieves good results. i don't use any presets because every photo is different in terms of what i want to achieve and what i start out with in terms of exposure/white balance/HSL. at the end of the day, i just try and make it "look good" to my eyes. probably half the time i'll finish processing, export, then go back and take a second look later and change a few things one more time.

Very impressive results. Always liked my Olympus film cameras.
