#1 Google Street View Virtual Tour in Phoenix AZ
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!
Well. It’s been a while since my last HDR photo. I took this at the cloudy day at nearby neighborhood, where I took my first few HDR images.
HDR Image – Lake Houses and HDR Image – Trees
I was told the best HDR image target is the place or the object that has so much details and contrast. So here you go. We don’t have that much cloudy day in Arizona. So I have to take this opportunities to take cloudy HDR photos!
I think the above lake view is a little too blue while the one below is a little too yellow! What do you think? Your comment are well appreciated! Thank you for stopping by!

Are you tired of my Sunset Photos? You can try my Blue Sky or Beach Photos too! Honestly, it’s not an easy job to take the sunset photos. Especially, you are looking at the sun. The following photo are few of my favorite sunset photos, because of the right time and right place in Cherry Creek Ranch in Young AZ.
Here is closer shot with the rainbow and moon. It’s a beautiful day after rain!
