Twin Sisters, City of Rocks National Monument
It was a beautiful morning in City of Rocks National Monument last Saturday. We left Burley at about 4:30 AM in order to get there by sunrise. We stopped once to photograph the lunar eclipse. Had some interesting clouds that were illuminated by the moonlight. It is wonderful to get away from the city and enjoy nature for a while. It is even better to be able to photograph it!
We had been photographing around Twin Sisters prior to sunrise and made some good color images. However, we were just about to move on and check out other areas when the sunlight completely engulfed the rock and these wonderful clouds positioned themselves perfectly behind the rock. We stopped and photographed some more. The light was great for black and white, so that’s what I did.
I felt like I just figured out how to shoot here and the light quality weakened. This is a place I could definitely come back to. It always seems to take a couple of times in one area to really get a feel for what I want to do. The photographs get better with each visit. That is why I am a big advocate of photographing in your local area. You are familiar with it, therefore able to do a much better job with it.
