This Smithsonian Magazine Editor's Choice is one of my favorite exposure of all time. This is a 30 second shot taken prior to sunrise looking over the Memorial Bridge as rush hour traffic hurries across. I particularly like the "heartbeat" of the photography, a jogger's chestlight that appears on the right hand side of the image. NOTE: A one half stop soft GND filter was used to slightly darken the above the horion portion of this photograph. Contrast was also slightly adjusted.
Second Pink
Early morning reflective light illumates The Second Wave formation in the Coyote Buttes North permit area. The sequence of events that formed this formation through geologic time would take an entire book to explain (or so I've been told). NOTE: No major edits made to this photograph in post.
Blastoff at Shiprock
A long exposure, 5 minute, photograph of Shiprock taken at astronomical dawn as a set of whispy clouds flow over the formation. The light source for this photograph was the light of the full moon. Note: A one stop GND filter was applied to the below the horizon portion of this photograph to achieve the desired light balance above and below the horizon.
Chimney Rock Rainbow
Evening light falls over Chimeny Rock at Ghost Ranch, Abiqui Lake, as a vertical rainbow formed just west of Black Mesa. NOTE: A minus one stop GND filter was applied to the sky above the horizon to achieve the observed light balance between the above and below the horizon light levels.
