Alien Egg Hatchery, Bisti Badlands, New Mexico
Littel different to what I normally do.
If you have seen my latest travel post and Location Check you may have seen some of these. In this post, I want to highlight the individual eggs that I found. Not Easter but scary aliens sources. The scary thing is they seem to have hatched and some aliens are running amongst us. Bullshitting aside let us talk about photography 😎
Bisschen anders als sonst.
Wenn Ihr meinen letzten Reisebericht und Location Check gesehen habt, habt Iht vielleicht einige davon schon gesehen. Heute möchte mal einzelnen Eier hervorheben, die ich gefunden habe. Nicht Ostern, aber gruselige Alieneier. Das Beängstigende ist, dass sie Beile zu haben scheinen und einige Außerirdische unter uns herumlaufen. Bullshit beiseite, lasst uns über Fotografie reden 🤩
Waiting for the Sun to set. I start to get out of the camera and run around to find the most interesting shapes.
Getting there was not particularly difficult but a looong way from anything else you would normally travel to. But absolutely worth it.
Es war nicht besonders schwierig, dorthin zu gelangen, aber weit weg von allem anderen, wo man normalerweise hinreisen würde.
If you also read my article you know that I did not spend nearly enough time to feature all Eggs I wanted. I just did not have the time to take more shots because a Thunderstorm walked right into the scene. But let us have a look at what I got.
Wenn den Artikel auch gelesen habt, wisst Ihr, dass ich nicht annähernd genug Zeit hatte, um alle Eier zu fotografieren, die ich wollte. Ich hatte einfach nicht die Zeit, weil ein Gewitter direkt in die Szene marschierte. Aber schauen wir mal, was wir hier haben.
Today you see the simplest way of light painting. No fancy extras that are limited to taste. Here I really try to only feature the shape of the rock formation. In other shots, it might be different.
The Light Painting you see here is a single 10-second exposure time photograph. The camera was always set to ISO 320 and the Laowa Zero D F2.8 Lens to a very high F-Stop like F16. I really wanted to keep the background as dark as possible. to highlight the formation only. Then just using a flashlight I lit up the Egg.
Hier seht Ihr die einfachste Art Light Painting. Keine ausgefallenen Extras, die auf den Geschmack beschränkt sind. Hier versuche ich wirklich, nur die Form der Felsformation herauszuarbeiten. Bei anderen Aufnahmen mag das anders sein.
Das Bild hier hat eine Belichtungszeit von 10 Sekunden. Aufgenommen bei ISO 320 und das Laowa Zero D F2.8 Objektiv war auf F16 eingestellt. So konnte Ich den Hintergrund wirklich so dunkel wie möglich halten. Dann habe ich das Ei nur mit einer Taschenlampe beleuchtet.
Here you see the behind-the-scenes setup foto. Surprising is the size of these. These are not that big.
Hier sehen Sie das Behind-the-Scenes Setup-Foto. Überraschend ist die Größe dieser. Diese sind nicht so groß.
Same principle for the other eggs.
Gleiches Prinzip für die anderen Eier.
What were the settings for this one ??
Here we have a short 3.6-second exposure time Light Painting. The camera was always set to ISO 320 and the Lens to F16.
Hier gibts ein Light Painting mit schnellen 3,6s Belichtungszeit. Die Kamera war auf ISO 320 und das Objektiv auf F16.
What were the settings for this one ??
Here we have a short 7.3-second exposure time Light Painting. The camera was always set to ISO 320 and the Lens to F16.
Hier gibts ein Light Painting mit schnellen 7,3s Belichtungszeit. Die Kamera war auf ISO 320 und das Objektiv auf F16.
The area is overwhelming
The shapes you find are just "outer-worldly".
Since these eggs are laying around so nicely it could have been so nice to get more of these shots and make it a series. Have look at this area.
Die Formen sind einfach nicht von dieser Welt.
Da diese Eier so schön herumliegen, hätte es so schön sein können, mehr von diesen Aufnahmen zu machen und daraus eine Serie zu machen. Schauen Sie sich diesen Bereich an.
If you want to see more see you can still watch the video. Of this trip. Get a quick impression of the area and the Bisti / De-Na-Zin Wilderness Area in New Mexico as part of my latest Location Check 013

I hope you found these images inspirational. If you have more questions please do not hesitate. I am happy to share my knowledge.
If you think this is Spam, why did you read this far and why the fuck bother you? Move on from your self-righteous mind state and bury yourself. Don't bother about what others may find interesting. Just stay in your bubble and ...
All there is left to say is Cheer Up!
