Arizona High Desert
Posted by Scott F. Schilling (San Martin, United States) on 13 June 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
One of the things that I find fascinating about the Arizona Desert is the afternoon clouds and thunderstorms that form almost on a daily basis during the summer months. This can make for some incredible sunrise and sunset photography as well. This is a photograph of the high desert country near the Betatakin Ruin at the Navajo National Monument - on the way to Monument Valley. Because this area is high desert the plants and trees are simply spectacular that dot the rocky landscape.

Hi Scott,
The light in this is awesome! I love the way the spots of light coming through the clouds draw my eye around the photograph. This photo has such a wonderful depth, all of the elements come together perfectly here! FANTASTIC!

@Lambspun: I am using a nikon d3 with a 17-35mm wide angle lens on this. I am also shooting in raw in order to try and ire as much data as possible for the processing.
