Last light on mesa country
Another example of roadside photography, though going for an actual hike would have been much better for my health.
To be honest, the 502 corridor to Los Alamos is going through private property and a lot of pueblo land and is therefore fenced-in all the way. Climbing fences and trespassing is not recommended. Fortunately, the highway opens spectacular views to the one who looks for them.
I cropped out the sky because it wasn't that interesting. It's good sometimes to remember that a landscape photo does not have to have a sky or horizon line to have impact.
Shooting this landscape with a telephoto lens pulled in the distant mountains and gave them a lot more weight than they would have had in a wide angle shot.
Shot with my vintage Takumar 200mm f4 at f16.
