This 15 second exposure highlights the profile of one of the most striking formations in the White Pocket area. The colors seem to be contrived, but rest assured they are not. NOTE: A one half stop soft GND filter was used to darken the above the horizon portion of this image and create a more acurate depiction of what they human eye would have seen that morning.
This is one of my favorite exposures of all time (at this point in time). It is a 863 second wide angle shot of my favorite formation in White Pocket. The formation is lit by a waning moon as astronomical dawn arrives. The world turns and seems to be in line with the flow of the White Pocket, the only time this formations of this area seem to make sense. NOTE: The entire exposure was lightened by one stop as the original exposure was underexposed.
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.
