Organ Mountains New Mexico 3

A heavy cloud is suspended over the Organ Mountains. These clouds were moving and changing rapidly. The "Magic Hour" of great light only lasts a short time. In this case the photographer has to be quick and accurate as the light and the clouds changes very rapidly. Taking time to change lenses can be fatal in this situation. Zoom lenses work well in this situation...my 18-105mm lens was a good choice for most of these images but there were times that I needed to change to my 70-200mm lens. Being relaxed and not hurrying the shot is vital as is a good tripod for this sort of work.
