I find it interesting that this image, upon further viewing looks like it was made with a wide angle lens, not a 90mm. Maybe it's because of the vast scale of the place.

I really limited my use of wide angle lenses on vast landscapes except when I was in
Arches and was able to go up within 10' of the subject. I did this for two reasons, first to minimize distortion for potential stitched images and since the landscape is so vast, I did not want to diminish the background. So the 50 and 90 were used 75% of the time on the M9, and on the Hassy, the 80 and 250. Although I did use the 50 more because it has virtually no foreground distortion and I have successfully stiched images with that lens. My crazy techniques

Dan, where did you stay at Monument Valley or did you take a day trip from Grand Canyon? Are you heading to Antelope Canyon too?

Hey Simon, I stayed at Gouldings Campground and used Monument Valley Saffari Guides for the backcountry access.
