The Great American Southwest
In the fall of 2010, we spent two weeks exploring the Great American Southwest. It was an amazing trip, amidst spectacular scenery, history and people. I took over 1700 images during that time, and over time, will be sharing many of them here. Please feel free to visit this gallery and leave comments. I hope you enjoy these scenes as much we enjoyed visiting them.
Please note the dates listed with many of these pictures is the date I posted them as a Daily Photo, not the date they were shot.

Condors in the Canyon
There are only 77 Condors in all of AZ and UT. These two magnificent creatures had been resting for a time on stone outcroppings in the Grand Canyon, (here's a shot: http://www.edspadoni.com/Photography/The-Great-American-Southwest/15384211_vL5AB#1029527750_Mmd5G-A-LB), before they decided to take wing. I shot this in shutter priority mode at 1/400 sec, f5.3 and panned. Cropped and sharpened slightly in PP.
