One of my favorite sights is a patch of cholla cactus. It's difficult to photograph them though. NIKON D700, AF 24mm f/2.8D, F20, 1/80 |
Cholla field, different angle. NIKON D700, AF 24mm f/2.8D, F11, 1/250 |
Cholla field again. Hard to find just the right spot and lineup of cactus. NIKON D700, AF 24mm f/2.8D, F11, 1/320 |
I keep trying to get a good shot of a pack rat nest. They are all over, and easy to spot. They put cactus bits all around the nest, and have a couple of trails leading through them. NIKON D700, AF 24mm f/2.8D, F22, 1/50 |
Another angle of a pack rat nest. I'm trying to show the size of the nest (about four feet across) and the bits of cactus strewn around to keep predators away. NIKON D700, AF 24mm f/2.8D, F16, 1/100 |
The sun came out, so another attempt at a cholla field. NIKON D700, AF 24mm f/2.8D, F16, 1/160 |
