Lightroom 3 and sometimes Photomatix Pro

For this report I used a Panasonic TS3 point-n-shoot and a Pentax K-5 DSLR. The first video was shot mostly with the Panasonic. The video I just posted was mostly from a Drift HD 1080P helmet camera.

Awesome photography; pls tell me you're a professional photographer.

Not at all Aargee. Just a self-taught amatuer/hobbyist. I didn't know anything about photography 3 years ago and can prove it. Just look at my Ride Reports prior to the Fall of 2009.

Thanks!

Brilliant, stunning colour, the canyon pana is epic

I generally don't like HDR, but your photos look great. I need to learn how to use light room better.

Thanks for taking the time to put these together. I never got a chance to tell ya before.

Thanks again and keep em coming!

Great job, I'm planning to bonzai it to the Four Corners Monument by way of Monument Valley around the 4th of July. Maybe I'll extend it to stop by the South Rim for a sunset pic also. Although I only have a POS camera... So no HDR pics. Great inspiration though. We are very lucky here in Arizona, sometimes we take it for granted...

Another great report and awesome photo's ! ! !
Easily recognized your ride across Hwy 74 and your "camera along the shoulder" shot riding outside of Congress. Similar angle of Vulture Peak as my "Back Yard..." report. I was likely about 4 miles to the East of your shot...
We are very fortunate to be in close proximity to the special place know as the Grand Canyon. I have wonderful images of the South Rim taken 35 years ago... of course using 35mm slides. Back then the Canyon was very clear not that constant brown sky. Started venturing up to the North Rim 30 years ago for a week or so every year. Now very seldom spend more than two or three days a year on the South side and then prefer the Watchtower area.
What time of day were you in Wickenburg? I was out early... heading West on a couple of dirt-tracks. However I was back before the heat set in for the day, about 10 am.
Again thanks for taking us along on your day-trip.
