Spring Trip

Well all of the great posts from the Colorado Plateau trip some of us took motivated me to do a quick pass through my shots. I've still got quite a few panos and HDR/blends to work through, but here are a few that I thought I'd share.

This is from Studhorse Point near Page. I wish I'd had more time to explore this area. It's a great place to car camp!

Hmmm.. looks a little dark here, maybe I'll repost when I get a chance.

Here is one from Lower Antelope Canyon. I spent about 5 hours in here - one of my favorite places!

MoonHouse #1

I'd been in to Moonhouse in McCloyd canyon in 2004 during my pre-digital and LF days but had forgotten a lot about it. What a cool ruin! I was excited about shooting it with the 4x5 and 5DII, so I ended up spending about 4 hours there. Lots of images to work with (still waiting on the film) but here are a few to illustrate the structure.

MoonHouse #2 - The Alcove

RiverHouse

I finished my trip with a visit to River House, at least that's what I'd heard it called although I haven't seen that name or the site on a map or my books. It sits next to the San Juan river south of Bluff, UT. This might be the same ruin that Rod posted.

Here's a repost of the Studhorse Point shot with a little exposure boost.

I'm really liking all these images of ruins posted recently, I like #3 above!. Look forward to seeing more when you get the film developed!.

Nice collection, Kalin. I'd also suggest a contrast boost to the b&w image.

Nice images Kalin. Moon House and River House are ruins I've been aware of for some time, but have yet to visit. You definitely did them justice with these photos. I think I'm going to have to plan a trip to go out there this spring after seeing all of these great images.
I agree with Todd about the b&w, it has a nice range of tones to work with.

A productive trip, Kalin. Nice work.

Thanks guys. Thanks for the critique too!

Love the ruins. We gotta get a trip kicking again together. The first B/W and the repost both look kinda muddy to me but it might be the cruddy dell notebook POS monitor I am looking at from right now.

Nice set of images!
You really got around. I like Moonhouse #2 very much. I visited that place once without a camera. Won't happen next time!
Also like the overview of River House. Such a cool (and rarely visited) place.

Looks like a great trip. Really like the ruins. That BW looks pretty ncie as well.

Very nice, Kalin! You went to some really cool places and got some really cool images! I'm going to have to put these on my places-I've-never-been-to-and-want-to-go-to-list.

Kalin,,,Great trip. You really got some great images. Isn't it amazing what surprises there are back in those canyons!

These sites are really cool Kalin. The Moonhouse Alcove shot is especially cool.
