Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Rock With Wings” by Bob Faucher. Location: Navajo Nation, New Mexico.
“Shiprock, a diatremic monadnock, rises abruptly from the virtually level surrounding plain,” explains Faucher. Located within the Navajo Volcanic Field, it is a classic geologically distinct landform of the Colorado Plateau. The landforms of the Navajo Volcanic Field also figure prominently in the empirical knowledge and culture of the indigenous Navajo people.”
Equipment & Settings: Canon EOS 5D II, Canon EF 28-70mm @ 29mm, Gitzo tripod, RRS BH-55. RAW capture: f/16 @ 1/160 sec, -.33 EV, ISO 800, Auto exposure, Center-weighted-average metering, Auto WB.
