Bring your new Christmas gear out and join us for an immersive evening of desert landscape photography at the stunning Elena Gallegos Open Space. Nestled at the base of the Sandia Mountains, this location offers sweeping views, rugged terrain, and the warm glow of the desert at sunset. We'll meet two hours before sunset to take advantage of the shifting light and golden hour magic. Together, we'll explore techniques for capturing depth, texture, and color in desert environments, from wide-angle vistas to intimate details of desert flora. Recommended Gear - DSLR or mirrorless camera smartphones welcome too! - Tripod for stability during low-light shooting - Wide-angle lens for sweeping vistas macro lens optional for close-ups - Comfortable shoes, appropriate clothes for the weather, and water. We'll be walking short trails over uneven terrain for 1 mile total.Recommended Gear - DSLR or mirrorless camera smartphones welcome too! - Tripod for stability during low-light shooting - Wide-angle lens for sweeping vistas macro lens optional for close-ups - Comfortable shoes and water 2014 we'll be walking short trails over uneven terrain 1 mile totalRecommended Gear - DSLR or mirrorless camera smartphones welcome too! - Tripod for stability during low-light shooting - Wide-angle lens for sweeping vistas macro lens optional for close-ups - Comfortable shoes and water 2014 we'll be walking short trails over uneven terrain 1 mile total
