Ford Butte and a Look Across the New Mexico High Desert
While at a roadside pullout along Indian Service Rte 5 with a view looking to the north-northwest across the northern New Mexico high desert setting. Off in the distance is the volcanic pipe, or diatreme, of Ford Butte. Given the mostly overcast skies that afternoon, I decided to zoom in and focus on the butte itself. I pulled back a little on the focal length to include some of the nearby foreground to add an interest to the image while including some skies to use as a backdrop. The rest was metering to best bring out the colors present on this somewhat overcast day.
