#1 Google Street View Virtual Tour in Phoenix AZ
Well. I was going to post each photo in different post and decide not to do it. It will take me too much time to post all of them. So here you go. This is the last set of HDR photos I took at the Lomaki Pueblo And Lomaki Pueblo In Wupatki National Monument. You can find my previous photos and 360 degree video too. It was a breath taking trip to N. Flagstaff AZ.
Well. This is the only photo I had for Sunset Crater Volcano in N. Flagstaff AZ. I was NOT trying to create fancy HDR image, but I end up try to make it look more like a realistic HDR. I also don’t have a wild angel lens, so I use my default 28-135mm lens for the shot. I am still learning how to adjust the software to make it NOT too dark on the right side. Anyway, Enjoy it! It’s an amazing place to see volcano without flying to Hawaii.
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 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!
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!
