El Capitan
This is the back of El Capitan taken from Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas. This image was selected for the Listening to the Land exhibition sponsored by The Texas Photographic Society. The gallery of selected images can be seen here. El Capitan was previously featured in my post, The O Bros do Guadalupe Peak. I submitted six images for the competition, which are featured below.
Guadalupe Peak
These are the Guadalupe Mountains. On the far left is the face of El Capitan and, just to the right, Guadalupe Peak. This image was also previously featured in my post, The O Bros do Guadalupe Peak.
Hancock Hill
This is the desk on Hancock Hill. It is near Sul Ross University in Alpine, Texas. According to the Sul Ross website, it was carried up the hill by three Sul Ross students, Jim Kitchen, Bill Wagner, and Travis Miller who were seeking a place for “contemplation and reflection”. (I have always suspected alcohol was involved.) This is the desk one morning in July, 2019. This image was previously featured in my post, Five Frames from Alpine.
Four Centuries
I found these century plants outside Alpine, Texas. This image hasn’t been featured before.
Buffalo Place
This is the San Angelo State Park buffalo herd having breakfast one morning in November, 2018.
The New Oil
I took this shot of a windmill farm off of highway 277 north of Bronte, Texas in May, 2018.
Gallery
Here is a gallery of today’s images for better viewing.
I took Guadalupe Peak with my Motorola Moto g(7) cell phone (because I didn’t want to schlep a Canon 6DII three thousand feet up the mountain). Guadalupe Mountains was taken with a Canon 6DII with a Canon 24-70 zoom set to 24mm. Buffalo Place was taken with a Canon 6D and a Canon 100-400mm zoom set to 286mm. The New Oil was produced with a Canon 6D and a Canon 100mm f2 prime lens. Four Centuries was captured with a Canon 6D and a Canon 24-70mm zoom set to 70mm. Hancock Hill was produced with a Canon 6DII with a Canon 24-70mm zoom set to 53mm. All the images were processed with Darktable, a free darkroom programs available for Windoze, Mac, and Linux.
