Bisti Wilderness (SW trip pt. 1)

[JeffKohn]

I've finished the first gallery from our road trip through the desert southwest. These are from the Bisti Wilderness area, it's an amazing place. We were the only ones there, and hiking cross-country into such a bizarre landscape was like being on another planet.

As always, feedback/critiques are welcome. Click on any image for the PBase page with shooting details.

What a fascinating set of photos. The last one is the most intriguing!

Very nice Jeff, really cool place to shoot. I really like your BW pano, nice job on all

 

[GonzoBernelli]

That sure is a huge trilobite in your first shot there Jeff!

I hope you really enjoyed "my dream trip"! Looks live it have to take it vicariously through your photographs.

First batch here are very good. Thanks for sharing.

Jeff :



Ah, me, now I want to drive right out to Farmington and shoot tonight...

Nice nice images, and as you discovered, it's a "target rich" environment for a photographer.

Good stuff, sir !

Dan and Douglas - thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it.

Nick - thanks, it was a great trip although tiring. I'm glad you and John talked me into cutting the mileage down some from what I had originally planned. 4000 was plenty. :smile:

John - thanks, I know how you feel. I was a bit unsure when I was there, if I was getting anything useful or not. But going through the images afterwords I realized what unique place it is. I definitely want to return when I can take a bit more time to explore. On this visit, we had about 3 hours and basically dashed to a few key points using GPS. I'm thinking a Fri-Sun trip flying in/out of Albuquerque might be in order for this fall...

Jeff :


Heh. Well, stay in touch. If I'm around and not traveling for business, perhaps we can shoot together (and I'll perhaps even point out one or two other neat spots on the way there...).

Nice work here Jeff. It's quite a special place. Your images of the "eggs" are among some of the best I've seen.

 

[JeffKohn]

Murrey, David, and Dave W - thanks for feedback.

John - that sounds fun, if it happens I'll let you know

David C - thanks, that means a lot. Your home state has a lot to offer, more than I realized before this trip.
