The High Road

Richard and Abby's first vacation together, July 2003
Other images from the High Road, our whirlwind tour of New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado.
This panoramic shot of the Goosenecks of the San Juan is actually just one frame, made with a 16mm fisheye lens. As many are aware, any straight lines that run though the exact center of the frame in a fisheye shot will be rendered as straight lines, so I simply put the horizon through the center of the frame.
Another fisheye shot, this image was made looking down from inside the tower at Desert View in Grand Canyon National Park. It was one of the very few decent images we got at the Grand Canyon due to smoke from nearby forest fires obscuring distant objects.
