Great shot!
I've always wanted to photograph this, seen it many times on my trips around the four corners.
One question, do you need to get permission from the Navajo Nation to drive/hike this area?
I need to make an effort to photograph here when I'm back out that way.
Thanks!
I never asked anything. I talked about it with Robert Langham, from this forum whom I consider a specialist from the place, as it was a concern of mine too. I'm just respectful of the location, and hope for the best :)

Another one from Shiprock. I don't have much more, I promise.
Buried dragon. Nice shot!
Thanks a lot djdister, Marty and chassis
In my remote sensing classes back in the 1980s we did a section on Shiprock and the interpretations of Hogback ridges. The one to the east (the one I mistakenly drove to in the dark before predawn) was the most striking (pun intended) of the hogback ridges, from the imagery that is. It the dark from the road it was not that impressive.
Thanks CJ!
Marty, that's really a place I'd love to study. As a geologist, it really fascinates me, like an X-ray of a volcano.
Thanks Stone. It's a scan. Just a few contrast adjustments in Lightroom. There's a slider for the toning as well in the software.
One of my photographic re-visits to a place that speaks to me. In 2010, I took here photo "In Winter's grip", and in 2007 the "Weir". This time, there is some change visible. Unfortunatelly, the curved branch that so well framed the view broke off... And I liked it so much... Well, thinks change...

I whish I would find better composition:

May I ask? How much Digital sharpening do you do to your images? They seem very sharp in almost surreal way, it could just be the scene or some kind of filter you using on the camera, but it almost looks like a digital sharpening or clarity slider filter, this is not in any kind of unpleasant way, just wondering.
All my pictures are sharpened exactly the same way (sharpening 50, masking 40), I've defined a LR preset long time ago and apply it during import. Perhaps a very fine moss texture requires weaker sharpening. But this place *is* surreal, so maybe this is a good thing :)
Cool, yea, your comment about not finding a good composure made me laugh, you can basically point the camera in any direction and you're going to come out with something interesting, not that your skills are also coming into play here, but it is a very beautiful place it seems, really really lovely.
You are right, you can just wait for the good weather (which can be frustrating in Iceland) and press the shutter aiming almost at random thing (sky excluded)...
But that makes hard to take photos, if you want to stand out from the crowd. Anyway, when I was composing this picture my brain was probably oxygen-poisoned :D
I still like it, but less than on site.
There are very few photos I have taken that were as good much less better than "on site". About the only ones that push my buttons are things like sand and snow. The shapes and forms can be isolated enough to capture the true feel of the scene. I find large mountains one of the hardest to compose because so much of the scene is from what the camera does not capture both visually and with other senses. I am almost always less satisfied with photos of these types of landscapes.
JaZ, these remind me of the Mono Craters and the sides of the cone covered in loose ash.

Hi,
IMHO this is caused by FlickR, they sharpen when they generate the downscaled versions,
to see the original you go to this one: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jaz99/...66172/sizes/o/

Colorado CJ, thanks.
Yes, I did use some swing on the left side (on the left I wanted the foreground in focus, but on the right the trees, the main point of focus are farther...) and a bit of front tilt. But it's also the property of the lens used. I don't know the exact coverage of the lens or what format it was intended for (I think it was HalfPlate), so using it on 5×8" sheet might be a bit taxing - it does light the whole format, but the edges might be out of sharp coverage. This photo was taken at f/11.
This was more of a lens trial shot - first I made a similar composition with (my preferred) Xenar 210mm, but this "test shot" from the Schiffel 180mm lens works better. I had to step some 1.5m or 2m up the stream for the 180mm lens composition and the perspective is better.

Very nice shot Marty. Excellent depth of field control and layering of the composition.
Thanks fishbulb! This was the first stop in Monument Valley. I was hopping for an earlier sunrise shot but I got interrupted by a local wanting to take me on a tour of the "restricted" regions. I saw those regions from a distance. There is a very interesting looking hogback in that direction. But I was not interested enough to pay his fee. There was plenty of other things to photograph.
Marty, Hi
that's very very good Sir

Hey Marty, I really like it as well! Love the contrast and the textures on rocks

I tried to get there earlier this month Robert. Thought there was very little snow, the road was gated near the top. Nice textures!

Very cool, thanks for that. I never knew that was one man behind it. I just know it from this. Would love to have one of the 8x10's.
