Yellow Bluff
Uploaded: February 02, 2011
Another special location that can only be accessed by private permission which I had from one of my patients. I had to crawl through thickets of cat claw and cactus and underbrush as well as over rocks to get to the bluff which has a very interesting Rock Art Painting (next photo to be posted). I got cuts, scratches and many bruises but I got the shot I was looking for that I do not think any other one has taken. This one taken at 24mm focal length, ISO 200, F/13 in AV mode and 1/30 sec & CP.
Exif: F Number: 13, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/30 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 24.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV

Fabulous image with awesome detail and color! Sounds like a tough shot to get, but you captured it to perfection!!! #9208373Emile Abbott February 02, 2011
Thanks Joy and Ellen. It was a hard day but I got to visit 4 Rock Art Shelters that are not easily accessible and are on private ranches so almost no one has taken photographs of them. I will be posting some over this month. #9208461Robert R. Goodman February 03, 2011
