New Mexican 50mm

A few shots from a recent trip to the land of enchantment. I stuck to my new 50mm lens to get a different feel of places I visit often.

1. Big Springs Rail Yard - One of those places that I’ve always stared at as I passed by, never stopped. In the early morning snow and fog, I tried to find the lines and textures that made me stare at it every time.

ƒ/4 at 1/800 sec ISO 1250

2. White Sands – Tried to shoot a different aspect of the sands than I usually do. Got down on my belly and shot tight, tried shallower DOF, etc. – something that I usually oppose while at White Sands.

3. Loretto -  A very small place in the Loretto church in Santa Fe, I have overlooked its simplicity from the overshadowing immaculate staircase.

4. Ed Larson – One of my favorite artists to chat with when I’m on canyon road.
