A Candle Wax Landscape - a photo on Flickriver

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments!

This is a panorama from the Bisti Badlands in the NW part of New Mexico, USA. The landscape resembles melted wax in many areas, an is the result of erosion of an ancient sea bed over millions of years. It is "otherworldly" and a unique experience at night. This is a panorama of multiple vertical images shot at 18 mm, f 3.2, 25 sec., and ISO 6400. There is Low Level Lighting, or LLL, to gently illuminate the foreground. This is very dim constant light that attempts to match starlight, so dim you can hardly see it. In this case I have used LED light panels with warming filters turned down very low.

For more images like this please take a look at my website here .

Thanks for taking the time to look. Hope you enjoy! Big thanks to the wonderful Flickr family out there.
