Alien Eggs

You might feel fine now but I'll bet later you will wish you were dead!

Great shot of Bisti! Got to get there some day!

Fascinating landscape. Reminds me a bit of Goblin Valley. Goblins or aliens, dinner should be special tonight.

The demon llama avatar freaks me out a little.

LOL,LOL...you still there?? Now i guess it is time to look for that tiny worm that showed up. I am not going though, even if I have been looking for my little stray cat for some days now...:):) Great shot, really, the light is delicious. Cheers, Rafael.

Great foreground and monsoon-like New Mexican skies Ian, the Bisti Badlands are an area I'd love to go and now I must go there.

Make sure there is video taken of the dinner scene--might be cool to put it on Youtube, or even NPN!
You got good light here, technicals all look good, a worthy addition to the portfolio. Nothing ground-breaking, not that it has to be. A nice shot of a very cool place!

Great light and color Ian! Fantastic alien landscape and story....... Good luck at dinner!

Nice. I like the interplay of shadow and light from the formations. The hint of a rainbow is a nice touch.

Dude,

Your avatar is really freaking me out!

Oh and the image is pretty awesome. It needs a rainbow, but whattya gonna do?

Dude, there IS a rainbow! A tiny one, but it is there, in the middle of the virga.

What's the matter, not man enough to handle a demon llama death stare?

Beautiful image Ian. Fascinating rock formations. The light is, again, just fantastic. Exquisite work.

Very unique landscape, great light and nice clouds.

Ian, Nice side lighting and depth here. Nice eggs too.

Went looking for these once in the dark and never found them almost never found the car again, luckily that whole place is coool!

Totally cool-looking landscape, Ian! How was dinner?

You'll be wanting Pepto Bismol shortly after eating, but it won't help.
I'm just glad you put the horizon on a third line!
Really cool shot, Ian. Wonderful llama light that shows the texture off beautifully.

Beautiful shot, Ian! (but your icon not so much )
Glad you eventually woke up. Amazing landscape and your capture is lovely, once again.

Ian,
Very cool & mysterious formations. I really like the light and contrast you've caught. I'm not sure, but that avatar photo appears to be an image of my high school football coach. I hope you got a release or there'll be hell to pay.

By popular request, I had some video shot tonight while eating spaghetti dinner with my peeps . . . you won't believe what happened!



(For the under thirty crowd, or for those who spent the late 70s in a coma, the referece in my description is to the famous chest-burst scene from the movie "Alien". If you faint at the sight of aliens bursting forth from human chests, or if you don't like spaghetti, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, click the link above!)

LOL. Very nice capture with a nice perspective and some great light. Add a bit of humor and you've got a really happy audience. Well done.

Ian,

Somewhere we've seen this before... Beautiful scene, beautiful light - a great combo where the light accentuates these unique and fascinating formations.

Lon, I was thinking exactly the same, Where have I seen this before? I think Alion Briot had a silimar image in one of his articles if I am not wrong.

Ian, nice shot and good timing for light as well. How big is the egg at the FG? How wide is the lens?
