After the best early morning golden light was gone, I continued to move around the nearby area looking for interesting compositions in the early morning light and evaluating the best time for shooting whatever I found nearby.
There are a number of petrified tree stumps in this area, so I made
a few images of those.
There are many rocks in various shapes scattered around the desert here. Some are short hoodoo or toadstool like features.
I converted a number of my shots from this shoot to monochrome, since I think this time of the morning with long shadows is really good for monochrome.
The rock in the top right of this photo maybe should have an xxx rating:
I like the diagonal line of rocks and their shadows set against the wide open desert in the above photo.
These short toadstool like rock features cast interestingly shaped shadows and I like the little rock with a sliver of light highlighting it in the shadow in the foreground in the above image.
A stark image of the Bisti desert environment is presented in the above image.
As the sediment in the desert here erodes, linear features are often revealed, hinting at the original geological deposition. Fortunately, all of the rock does not weather at the same rate. Otherwise, there might only be a flat desert with no interesting features.
Scouting photos from this day will be posted soon.
As a reminder, most of my blog photos are posted to my Flickr page and one can click on any photo that your cursor indicates has an embedded link to view the photo on Flickr, where it will look better than in the blog.
Thanks for following,

So many photo ops in this area, and I agree that these photos lend themselves to monochrome! Well done!
Thanks, Shutterpug.
