Just got back from a trip down to Southern New Mexico and thought I'd share some of the photos I took down there wit yous guys.

I used a photography technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range), where you take a series of photos, onc properly exposed, one or more taken underexposed, and one or more overexposed. I then upload them and combine them using a program called Photomatix. It's a pretty neat technique.

Enjoy!
