Land of Enchantment

After our Bosque Del Apache Workshop last week, I drove to Southeast New Mexico for a little shooting. The evening light was beautiful along the drive. Couldn't pass this opportunity up.

6 image pano from verticals.

Canon 5D Mark III
70-200 f/4L @ 111mm
ISO 200
1/160 @ f/7.1

Larger version shows much more detail.

Thanks for taking a look.

What a wonderful scene this is, Keith. It really makes a wonderful panoramic view. The light is beautiful and I love the conditions you captured this in with all the dark clouds. :toast:

Killer light and great stitch! :toast:

Maybe clone that distracting speck/light off the top of that mountain?

Love that golden light Keith. The subject works very well here in the pano format. The stitch looks great. I'd consider cloning out that observatory/fire lookout on the top of the highest peak.

You gotta love that "enchanted" light. :biggrin: Wonderful and warm. The pano works really fine here, too.

super sweet light, you caught here! would love to see even more details than in the large version!
the little speck, that mark mentioned, came to my attention immediately - one more vote for cloning it out.

Very dramatic light, Keith. The pano format works well here.

Sweet light and excellent stitch. I do feel that the bottom of the image lacks some interest though.
