Shiprock Storm

A thunderstorm approaching Shiprock from the southwest. This photo was taken from near the paved road that is just south of Shiprock. (Looking at Shiprock from the Southeast). NOTE: I used a polarizing filter with full affect rotated toward the clouds and a 1 stop soft GND filter to darken the above the horizon portion of the scene.

Shiprock Dawn

First light falls on Shiprock and the grasslands surrounding it. NOTE: A polarizing filter was used to deepen the colors of the sky.

Sandstone Reflection

A newly formed, and very temporary, pond reflects the late evening sky and sandstone colors in Coyote Buttes South wilderness area. NOTE A polorazing filter was used at time of exposure.
