Exploring Back Roads


Here’s something I love to do….load up the camper van with dogs, food, photo gear and go explore the thousands of miles of back roads in this State of New Mexico. Sometimes I end up at altitude, like the lone tree shot you see here. Other times, I just pull over…because this State has lots of pull-off areas…and just walk around and see what I can see! I like to process the photos in the van. But before I do that, I make some nice meal right there inside of the camper van. It’s perfect for these kinds of adventures. The dogs are really happy in there too. That’s all for now.

Cloudscapes


The ever changing cloud formations up here continue to hold my undivided attention. I can’t seem to get enough of it and I can’t seem to stop looking. Funny that I’m never bored by this vista. They form, then morph, then merge, then dissipate, like “thoughts”. I find that I can’t leave home without the camera around my neck….just in case one of them calls to me!

    There’s really little reason to worry about file size, especially when you use thumbnails. I try to keep my images under 600KB but a lot of people upload full size color images straight from their camera, like 4000 x 6000px. Jane Laurie once told me she uses settings in Lightroom to export her images at 500KB or less but I’ve seen some of hers at well over 1MB. As for using a WEBP for faster loading its ridiculous and likely reduces quality even more.

    I think we have a lot in common sweating the small stuff, ask the clouds if anything really matters. 😎

    Fantastic compositions and images!
