Anasazi Moon
Fine Art Photography results from skillful use of a number of tools; a subject, light, a camera, and digital imaging software. Our subject consists of hoodoos - water carved sandstone caps covering softer eroded shale's. Natural light transitions quickly after sunset; when the sky is clear, direct light is reflected off particles in air, turning the sky pink. Indirect light turns the sky blue. An Edge of Light exists, but is diffuse.
I stood in the Bisti that evening, watching the hoodoo still retain a little bit of the gold from sunset. When the light combination of hoodoo and edge of light was just right, I shot an image. Later, with a telephoto lens, I captured a moon whose lustrous mares gave strong character. I wanted the moon to dominate, yet be a trusted companion, giving a surreal nature to the distinct other-world hoodoo landscape.
It's software marriage of the two which creates this truly amazing fine art opus...
Evening hoodoos still retained a little bit of sunset’s gold while the sky behind was tinged by a diffuse edge of light. As pink light rose and blue deepened, when the light was right, I shot the hoodoos. Hoodoos are water carved sandstone caps covering softer, eroded shale.
Light changes quickly after sunset; with clear sky, direct light is reflected off particles in air, turning the sky pink and blue. A diffuse Edge of Light moves upward.
Wandering the Four Corners, seeing how the moons orientation affected how Anasazi dwellings were constructed, I wondered, "Did ancient Anasazi view the moon in secret kivas as a larger-than-life figure giving nature a surreal sense?"
Finally, searching for Rowell's dynamic landscapes, I shot a full moon. This image combines alluring hoodoos, a diffuse edge of life, and an ancient Anasazi's moon.
