Please share the details on this picture (camera, f, time etc). It's an amazing shot. I have a friend who owns a camera store and took a very similar picture. It was with a film camera but he said it was one of the most difficult he'd ever taken. He was very proud of it. He said he waited over an hour for the light to be perfect.

This was taken with my Canon 6D. It was actually a very simple exposure to make....there was enough light bouncing around the kiva that made it easy. Aperture was f11, exposure 0.6 seconds, ISO 100. On a tripod, of course.

This photo was years in the making. I first saw a similar photo in a book, but it wasn't until last week that I finally figured out the location, using Google Earth to match up ground features with the photo.

Whoa. Is that a backpacker with a sheep on a leash?!

Great shot and a super interesting 'glyph Dennis. Congrats on nailing it! You guys never cease to amaze me with your geosleuthing ability.

13 Faces, which to my untrained eye displays only 10. Needles, CANY.

here are a few shots from our recent trip int the Maze

The Harvest Scene

Snake Panel

nice mixed panel close to the Snake panel. We only fund it because I lost my lens cap close to it the day before and we found both the next morning

Very cool! I think that is the panel we were looking for when we found the snake - but we never did find this one and I didn't even look for it again when I was there a couple weeks ago.

Yeah, and I thought we searched the area pretty thoroughly, too!

I really liked it because it had the pictographs and petroglyphs. The antropomorphs are very faded but still nice to see and it was pure luck that we spotted them. Glad I lost my lens cap close to that place.
I'm sure there is more out there, next time I need to search a lot more.

Ah memories, I recall looking for smoother more "likely" surfaces than that, while trying to keep up with you two on the hunt, could almost taste it. Next time!

while here on vacation on the Big Island of Hawai'i I was looking for rock art, too. There are a few sites here on the island and I was surprised to see so many petroglyphs.

They have mostly human figures and circles, but now and then there are also turtles.
I will visit a third rock art site in a few days

Cool, very similar to the rock art of the southwest.
