This is an early morning shot of a Soap Tree Yucca at White Sands National Monument in New Mexico. I was struck by the excellent lighting possibilities and the exquisite designs in the white gypsum sand. I used a Nikon D 7100 and Nikkor Zoom Lens (18-200 mm.) with a Hoya Circular Polarizer all attached to a Gitzo Tripod and Arca-Swiss Head. The ISO was 100, F/18, 1/40th second exposure, and a 55 mm. focal length.
