Monumental Tourism

So many shots of the Mittens give the "way out in the open desert" feeling. I took several in that vein when i was there last year, lol. I did manage to capture a fella and his girl doing the tourist shot, and at the same time I thought I'd reveal just how close the Mittens are to the View Hotel parking lot! OK, I cheated, used a 200mm focal length for this and got West Mitten right behind home plate.

(UPDATE, 1/6/13: should I have posted this in POP?)

Nice change to include some people on this subject. I also think this works great in black & white. Unique take on this one.

This has a 1940's post card feel to it Paul
Excellent composition . . .

Cool shot. I have never been there, so thanks for giving me a true sense of the place. I like the conversion as it really brings focus to your subjects. Well done.
