Here's a quick editing on a couple of photos from Shiprock.
A whirlwind trip...
A last minute opportunity to go opened up late Sat, so I loaded up and headed South. I Arrived in Shiprock Sun morning and took the Navajo highway (two track) out to the base of Shiprock. Don't pass on the opportunity to go out to this upthrust if you're ever in the area! I did test photos thru the day and shot the eclipse as it happened...WAY COOL!!!!
Then loaded up and headed North. Arrived in Rifle at 1am, slept till 4, then headed east on I70 and was back to work in Denver at 7:30...Needless to say, my butt was dragging just a little yesterday!!
Very cool Richard! I'm curious too what techniques you used for the first one. Regardless, it looks great with that silhouette of Shioprock to set it off.
Flippin awesome, Richard. I've been looking at just about everything available on the web from Sunday's event and this is by far the pick of the litter. Sounds like a tough trip but definitely worth it. Nicely done!
Stellar capture and composition, the silhouette is great. One small improvement could be removing the purple color fringing around the moon, but it's a personal preference thing.

You got to share the technique for getting that nice clean annularity.
