Bisti Wilderness, June 2021, Part 12

I shot these same small hoodoos early one morning.  This late day composition captures their long shadows across the desert valley floor.

This tall hoodoo with a very small cap seems to cast an unusually thin shadow, given the apparent thickness of the structure as seen from this angle.

I photographed this alien looking hoodoo from various viewpoints (it was in an awkward place for getting a good shot) and under various light conditions.  The photo just above may be the best image that I got.

Late day shadows are encroaching on this feature just as the light gets best.  At least I got its shadow on the hillside behind it.

Readers may recall seeing a monochrome version of this last photo in an earlier post.  While not a compelling image, I liked the shadow of the central feature on the hillside behind it.  The shadow is more distinct in this color version than in the monochrome version.

Stay tuned to the next morning’s shoot,

Ken
