From a morning at Joshua Tree NP, fall or winter 2001. I was standing maybe a foot from the crevice in the rocks thrilled with the effect of the extreme wide-angle; Steve had scrambled up and peeked over the edge. The rocks aren't actually more than 12-15 feet high but the WA perspective makes them look a lot higher! Hardest part was keeping my shadow out of the image.

Caught on Provia, using my then-new Sigma 15-30mm lens at 15, all other details forgotten. Heck, it could even have been Velvia.

Cool! I love how I can see just the head...his skin tone matches the rocks

Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap, but memories are priceless.

He's certainly well camoflaged up there! The shapes and angles are very interesting.

Cool. He's like a troll peeking over (sorry Steve).

Since I look like a troll and also like the sandstone, Perhaps I could be a stonefaced troll??
Fun shot.

Good use of the WA lens to really exaggerate the perspective here. Well done.
