p.1 #1 · Rio Grande Nights

Made a trip to Big Bend over the holiday weekend, and while I was mostly skunked on night skies because of thick cloud cover, I was able to get a few shots from early on before the clouds got socked in.

Hi Todd,

I like all. Of these but the second appeals most to me. I like the building in decay and the dulll light. The placement of the sun in #3 is perfect.

I'm not a church goer, but the third sure gets me religion

Did you use any flash?

Lovely light for all. I'm surprised the chapel still has a cross on it but you framed it perfectly.

Nice to see something besides snow, ice and bitter cold.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, I was a bit nervous taking these shots, since this is right on the US/Mexico border, and I was sitting there with over 20k of gear with me. I was packing, but even then... feeling outnumbered, even though I never saw a soul other than a few coyotes. But, once your mind starts to roam, it's hard to get it back into the corral.

I am already planning to revisit this spot with a new moon and hopefully clear skies.

Todd,

I really like the 3rd photo. The placement of the moon on the cross is a real nice touch.

Very cool stuff, Todd.
Big Bend is on my list, and these make it more so.
