Rock Art in the desert with LX-3
Made a trip through west Texas and southern New Mexico over the holiday weekend. Saw some rain, did some hikes and found a few petroglyphs.

Here is one I like to think of as the climber, working his way up the mountain.

Taken with a Panasonic LX-3. Just got the camera and really like it. Great point and shoot for a photographer. Excellent manual controls. RAW. 720P video. 24mm on wide end. Fast f/2.0 lens.

This one is in its Dynamic B+W mode. I slightly leveled the foreground to help pop the glyph but this is pretty much straight in camera jpg.

Nice composition Darren, b/w looks like a good choice here. I sure enjoyed my first time seeing some of the petroglyphs when I was in Moab this past May. I think you're right on track here ... looks like a "climber" to me!

Thanks for sharing! :wavey:
