#1 Google Street View Virtual Tour in Phoenix AZ
We were waiting at the hotel lobby for our room to move in. It was a cold day at Flagstaff AZ, but the lobby is very warm with red furniture. We had great time staying there for 3 days. You can find more Flagstaff AZ HDR photos such as Golden Flatgstaff, national monuments and more.
I have to say that I’ve learned a lot about HDR and indoor photography. It’s probably not my favorite photography, but definitely interesting.
You probably already know how much I like HDR photography. It gives me the great reason to show unbelievable color in a plain photo. I took the following photos near Snowbowl in Flagstaff AZ. It was supposed to snow, but we end up seeing the beautiful golden flagstaff. The sky is also so blue that I can resist to take shot after shot.
This is part of serial Flagstaff photos I took over the weekend. We accidentally found there are many national monuments we haven’t not visited on our way to Grand Canyon. We decided to change our course and stop by at Wupakti National Monument. This photo is taken at Lomaki Pueblo. It took me 3 shots to combine into this HDR photo. It was not an easy process to get the sun light without darken the brick wall. I have to say this is one of the most beautiful ruins I’ve seen. The view there is breath taking. I even shot the 360 degree video. See below.

As much as I love HDR photography, I am not so much about making it unreal. We were stopping at the cross road near Snowbowl ski resort in Flagstaff AZ. I figure this will be a great spot to take some dramatic scene. This is just the beginning of my serial HDR photos in the coming days. It was supposed to snow, but we did not get to see the white Flagstaff. However, we do see the golden Flagstaff.
I am always amazed by those street graffiti. This one is no exception. Found this Face Wall in Flagstaff downtown. There is another Face Wall in San Francisco.
Heading north to Flagstaff, AZ for a short trip and test out the wild angle Canon lens and HDR photography. There is no surprise that McDonald is always packed. This photo was taken at Camp Verde, AZ, where most people stop to grab something to eat!
I have taken this Saguaro cactus so many times. I can actually see it grow. Had a great hike at Butcher Jones Traial near Saguaro Lake in Mesa. This photo officially lead me to the New Year 2012. I will have more to learn about Landscape Photography and HDR photography.
I really have no complain about Arizona’s weather, even it’s too hot in the Summer. These photos were taken at Butcher Jones Trail near Saguaro Lake in Apache Junction on 12/31/2011. It’s the last day of the 2011 and we can hike with shorts! Isn’t that just wonderful!
