Approaching Autumn Storm - Shiprock

Location: Starting at Farmington, NM in the northwest corner of the state, go west on Highway 64 to Shiprock, NM. Turn south on Highway 666. About 7-8 miles south, head southwest on Red Rock Road (BIA-13). You'll see it on the north side of the road.

Equipment:  Hasselblad C501 with 140-280 mm lens and polarizing filter.  Velvia transparency film, ISO 50.

Digital imaging/manipulation:  Image scanned with Minolta Dimage Scan Multi PRO at 4800 dpi. Emulsion removal and slight exposure and color adjustment.

Notes: This is a magnificent place. It is NOT public land, so I don't know what to advise about obtaining permission to get close. On the other hand, that's what telephoto lenses are for. This was taken from the road.
