The Pecos National Historical Park, near Santa Fe, New Mexico, offers several kivas that visitors
may access by climbing down primitive ladders. It Might Be Interesting to Know: I actually went
to see the mission ruins and hadn't anticipated the kivas and therefore didn't carry a tripod
(MUST do better homework!). This shot was hand held and even with a stabilization lens really
pushed the limits of steadiness (yes, it's just a bit blurred at a 1/2 second exposure time!).
It would be very interesting to go back and shoot this again with a tripod using multi-exposure
HDR (high dynamic range) techniques. For more information about the Pecos National Historical
Park, please visit www.nps.gov/peco.
