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!

Just realized I totally forgot to take a few shots of my vehicle while we were down there... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Awesome photos Morgan! I imagine the weather was great down there. I was up in Abiquiu this weekend and it was really nice.

Hey Harry! Thanks! The weather was pretty fantastic. What was strange was on the same hot day we spent at White Sands, we went up to Cloudcroft, where it snowed. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

How's it going? You got any new shots?

Those are some awesome pics. I especially like the first one!

Very nice Morgan! I used to go out to Holloman AFB to do spook stuff out there while I was with the Test Wing at Eglin AFB, FL. Used to go all over down there. You need to head up to Ruidoso and Sierra Blanca too. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Your photos are awesome, Morgan. Just unbelievable!

WOW! Nice shots. That is some talent <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Did you take one of those flying saucer looking sleds with you? They are great fund riding down the dunes.

I am definitely enjoying my time in New Mexico. Next month I leave for South Dakota for six months. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Here are a few photos I took at Tent Rocks last month. I've got some decent shots from the VLA and Gran Quivira recently too. Nothing that compares with what you posted though.





The Alibi is having a photo contest, you should enter some of your shots. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Awesome pictures. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
