Excellent comp from below with the highway making a nice diagonal line. Plus the sky compliments the red rocks nicely.

Thanks Alan. Luckily, many of the more popular formations at the Bisti have been mapped on GPS making getting around easy. But I like just wandering around and seeing where I end up. As you said, follow the wash and you won't get lost.

Sssshhhh! Google might hear you!

I was at the Bisti Badlands in April for this photo. As soon as the sun set below the rocks it cooled down very fast and I was freezing by the time I got back to my truck. But the clouds cooperated that day and didn't completely fill the sky till it got dark.

I like the third best, removing all the signs of man makes for a great abstract!

Well, in Evergreen Oregon we'll take any color wherever we can get it! Pretty thick stuff in this image. Bad place to drop a lens cap.

Thanks Alan. It is a very cool campground there with piles of boulders all around. Kinda like a miniature Alabama Hills!

Sawtooth Canyon, California. A darker sky than expected this close to LA.

An unusual challenge for sure! From 2006-2020, my adventure companion was this 2006 GMC Canyon. It was perfect for me - 4x4, short wheelbase, and a 6 foot bed with camper shell that I could sleep in. Grand Canyon Talastima Canyon Hell's Canyon Paria Canyon (Infrared) Canyonlands Coal Mine...

Thanks Jim. Not quite radioactive, but just as deadly!

This is the 2250 megawatt coal fired power plant in Page Arizona. You made have seen it when you visited Antelope Canyon. It was big and nasty. It closed in 2019 and the 775 foot tall (236m) smokestacks came down in 2020. 665nm Infrared Converted Nikon DSLR.

Awesome image! The comp is gorgeous and the long exposure captures the mood beautifully.

Thank You Trent, for funding the purchase of a Nikon Z400mm f4.5 since I have coveting since its release! 😁 o_O

Here is Panther Creek Falls in Washington State, showing a beaver dam's amount of fallen trees at its base. Waterfalls in our part of the US are constantly changing with the passing of each season and each new storm.

I like the foreground better in your update, but I think the sky is still too cyan - I'd add red to the sky.
