  1. Looks cozy tucked between the tall rocks. How in the world do you film something in panorama? It's just fantastic to view. I love seeing the sun. As you know, it doesn't shine in Upstate NY during the winter.

  2. The photo of the White Dome with Joel is very cool. Is it just my computer or do the corners look a deeper blue than the rest of the sky? How did you do that? That's one great looking rock. I've been to the Valley of Fire oh about 7-8 years ago. I really liked it. So different than the scenery around here.

  3. Yay finally a photo of you. Thank whoever took it. Are you warm enough? Hope the fleece and vest do the trick. Send more photos of you, and a little more of a close up next time please :-)

  4. The panoramas are just images stitched and blended together. The images' darker periphery is vignetting which was partially caused by the lens and was augmented when editing. You can thank the tripod you bought for taking the picture of me.
