Copper & Desert

Photography Now & Then #67

One of my objectives with Photography Now & Then is to establish a routine of having a camera in my hands every day, whether it be my digital single lens reflex (DSLR) or my smart phone. I am already more comfortable with controls that I’ve not often used before on the DSLR and there are still more features to explore and get accustomed to.

October 6, 2011, was a cool fall day when we visited Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments.  We were staying at the KOA near Williams, Arizona, having left the north rim of the Grand Canyon early with weather forecasts predicting several inches of snow there.  In fact, on this drive, there had been a brief period of snow flurries when we stopped at the Sunset Crater Volcano visitor center.
