Nikon D810, 52mm, ISO 200, 1/80 sec, f/11

This image was taken from a different angle within a half hour of the previous Wupatki pueblo image. Besides some impressive clouds in the sky, the different angle shows more shadows which add depth to the image.

Normally when I arrive at a site like this, I like to walk around the perimeter and capture images from every angle. Even if the light is bad from a given angle, I will capture an image or two, just because. I find that this walk-around helps me prioritize potential compositions so that I don’t spend lots of time on the first composition I happen upon. This is especially important when I do not have much time at that specific location. IIN this case, I spent about 10 minutes of my self-imposed 30-minute limit on the walk-around. This left me 20 minutes to focus on what I deemed to be the strongest compositions.
