Two Soaptree Yucca Bushes at Twilight, White Sands National Park
White Sands National Park closes after sunset. For a landscape photographer like myself, who loves photographing during blue hour, that’s basically a challenge to hike out to a nice spot for sunset and then make a mad dash back to my car and exit the park before the gates close. That’s exactly what I ended up doing on my visit there in November. After sunset, I started hiking back to my car. Along the way, however, I kept noticing compositions that caught my eye. This one in particular seemed too good to pass up. Caught between the prospect of walking away from a shot or possibly sleeping on sand that night, I chose the latter. I had some very slow film, Velvia 50, loaded in my main camera, and the light was fading quickly, so I only allowed myself one shot at this scene. Though it’s a tad underexposed, it captures the cotton candy skies that drew me to the scene initially.
Please allow 1 to 2 weeks for production and shipping of the print.
