Description

The Painted Desert badlands visible from Kachina Point are exposed examples of the Chinle Formation which was deposited over 200 million years ago during the Late Triassic Period. The colorful badland hills, flat-topped mesas, and sculptured buttes of the Painted Desert are primarily made up of the Chinle Formation, mainly fluvial (river related) deposits.

I photographed the Painted Desert from the rim of Kachina Point in a late October afternoon. The image includes some of the vegetation found along the rim. In the immediate foreground is a small prickly pear cactus. Immediately to the left is a fine example of an agave; a desert succulent. I used a 38mm setting on my 19-105 mm lens producing a wide angle effect in a vertical image.

I processed the raw image file shot with a Canon 60D with an 18-55mm IS lens using Photomatix Pro 5, filters from Topaz Labs including Detail 3, BW Effects, ReMask 4 and DeJPEG 4 as well as some minor tweaking in Photoshop including sCurve adjustments, brightness, saturation and the camera raw filter to produce this Black and White HDR image.
