Dog Canyon Afternoon, Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM, November 20, 2011

When will I learn?

I went out in the late afternoon with the iPhone 4 to see what pictures I might get in the late day light against Dog Canyon and the mountains behind the park. I didn't get anything worth the effort I'm afraid. I never have.

Morning is better facing west across the Tullarosa Basin into a background not cluttered by the fine desert detail of the nearby mountainside to the east. That fine detail doesn't photograph well, especially with the phone.

See what I mean?

• Verizon cell phone service - good signal
• Verizon EVDO service - very good signal and access speed ( I have to qualify this - during my January 2008 visit the signal and access speed was excellent - in January 2009 it was practically non-existent during the day and slow at night with unpredictable short periods of excellent access)
