Wupatki Pueblo, Flagstaff AZ<\/em> (click image to enlarge)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nikon D810, 48mm, ISO 200, 1\/80 sec. f\/11<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wupatki Pueblo<\/a> is composed of Moenkopi sandstone blocks that give the structure a distinct red color. Close up images of the pueblo are pretty dull with much of the detail lost in the red coloring. When color does not add to an image, eliminate it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Converting this image to black, white, and gray accentuates the angles and patterns within the pueblo walls. Fortunately, there were clouds in the sky to fill in what would be dead space above the pueblo. The smooth area in the center-right area of the image creates three repeating triangular patterns within the bricks. The repeating pattern keeps the eye wandering making for a strong composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
