The Unaweep Seep is incredibly beautiful. Next time I'll get there about an hour before sunrise to try a certain composition. The light doesn't hit the canyon floor until way past useless. I'm talking 72,000 stop split ND that gonna have to be at least 17 inches tall. Not much else to do but look for subjects in the shade. What... you gonna make a 52 image HDR? Go ahead, I'll wait.
This simple yucca was tucked up off the road where it's poised to prick your shins as you finish clambering up the embankment. In retribution, I shot it... with the Nikon.
As I said this thing is in full shade, so there's a mighty colour cast. Easy enough to clean that up in Lightroom, then a bunch of sharpening to bring out the texture. None of which you see unless you click through to the Flickr page.
From the notebook:
Sure is bright here. And there are a lot of plants. BLM sign very adamant about staying on the pavement. Whatever. Not gonna happen... EVER.
Photo details: Nikon D3, 14-24mm @ 23mm, ISO800, 1/50 f/11
