Description
No one can understand how hard is to make this telephoto photograph until actually being there! Standing at the picnic area on Highway 62/180, near the Guadalupe Pass, the winds are strong and relentless, with wind bursts of up to 50 miles per hour! They almost never cease, so it is a challenge for landscape photography, necessitating a sturdy tripod and ballhead combo. Raising the ISO and with a very short exposure, I was able to make this shot before the moon went below the mountains, but not before trying many times. The soft alpenglow hit the mountainside at the right moment, and I had a gorgeous composition! Thanks for looking. FAA watermark WILL NOT show on fine art print.
