BEST VIEWED LARGE
Went up to Lusk, WY, USA the other weekend to visit my dad’s Aunt.
One day we decided to drive up to Devil’s Tower and got told about this awesome little spot called “Joyner”. No one goes there so this area is perfect for different views of the infamous landmark,
This was, as I believe, 5 shots processed in the Photomatix Plugin for Aperture. I couldn’t tell you all of the settings I used, as it’s been so long, but it took a long time to get it to this point.
I would like to give a huge shout out to my best friend, Kasey Cline for doing some post editing on this image to make it even more fabulous and remove some watermarks and dust spots (gotta clean that sensor!)

Taken with a Canon Rebel XSI (450D) and the “kit lens”. A canon 18-55mm IS lens.

I agree Rosanne. Wasn’t thinking about it to much that way until Philip pointed it out.
Thank you for the comment.
