I captured this a couple of hours ago at sunrise. It was another beautiful morning – the sounds of coyotes and quail a short distance away only enhanced the experience!
I attended a photography seminar on composition the other night, pretty much for beginners and intermediates. One of the tips I learned was that when photographing mountains, to put the peaks near the very top of the frame, with a little bit of space. It made me think of your photos, so I went home to check and sure enough most of your mountain photos have peaks near the very top! Guess I never thought about it that much since there aren’t any mountains in my part of Texas, haha…
I use a tripod for most my shots. I usually use a grad filter for landscapes and not HDR, so most if not all my Anza-Borrego photos are not HDR. Although for travel type photos, I often prefer HDR over a filter, so many of my photos of a place live Las Vegas are HDR.

Perfect time of year, warm low light, spring blooms…. what could be better?

Beautiful shot Ron
Looks like a great morning to be in the field and a beautiful image. I can’t wait to get back into the field tomorrow morning!
How is it looking out there Ron?
Do you think this weekend will be a good one for flowers?

Ron,
Just started following your blog. This is a beautiful shot, wish I was there.

Thanks everyone and welcome aboard Mike!
Bob – cold weather seems to be delaying the bloom. There is plenty to be seen, but not the big fields many are accustom to seeing.
That is good enough for me. 🙂 We will be heading out Saturday.
Thanks Ron,
Bob
Love it, Ron. Indian Head makes such a great and rugged backdrop.
Beautiful warm lighting. Did you use a GND filter on this?
What a beautiful way to start the day!

Thanks all!
I agree Michael – Indidan Head is my favorite backdrop around here.
Scott – I didn’t us a GND filter on this one.
I agree Donna!

Do you hand hold all of your shots or tripod? Any HDR images?
