Desert Forms
November 14th, 2006
Here’s my model becoming one with the rocks in a wilderness area outside Albuquerque. She was great to work with out in the desert. She really got what it was I was after and was willing to take the chances to get into the right spots. In fact, she was a little more adventurous with climbing around on the rocks than I was totally comfortable with. But there were no accidents, and once again I managed to get the shots I was after without losing a model in the process.
For those who care about this stuff, this was shot at 18mm with my 18-200 on my D200 Nikon. Shot at f/8. I love my 18-200 because my back doesn’t hurt as much when I go hiking. My 80-200 f/2.8 stays at home where it’s my standby boat anchor now.
Today I drove 850 miles from Little Rock to Gainesville, Florida. Not doing any shooting while I’m in Florida, just visiting friends and family. But it will give me time to edit my work with Echoed Light in Little Rock. Should have something from that shoot for you tomorrow. It was a great time meeting and working with Echoed Light. She is a real treat. More about her when I post some shots from our shoot.
I’ve decided to limit my daily travels on these trips to no more than 700 miles from now on. 850 miles is just too much driving for one day. Those last couple hundred miles seemed very long.
