Egg Factory

A couple of miles out into the Bisti Badlands in northern New Mexico sits the Egg Factory, also known as the Egg Garden or Cracked Eggs. Most of these "eggs" -- which those without imagination might tell you are just eroded rocks -- are about two feet tall. They become particularly photogenic in the late evening light, when their shadows grow long and the light is most colorful. I've visited them a few times, but this was the first occasion on which the clouds cooperated to complete to the scene. I captured this near-to-far composition with five focus-bracketed shots, which I combined in Helicon Focus software to provide a tack-sharp image from back to front.
