Thank you Skipjack. I enjoyed your color version best, but the exercise in B&W and your background were valuable.

Baja is beautiful either way, to an appreciating eye.

Keep up the excellent work.

Manual mode. Best way. You probably have room to crank up the ISO a bit without noise, but do what you do.

I recently got a EOS M3 mirrorless. The list would be short of things it can't do. It's a compact beast. Once you use one, you'll never go back.
HDR has been ruined by overuse and trying to create a new realism.....trying to pass off obvious manipulation as the world they see. Too bad. It was fun when it came out.

Each of the 3 images creates a very different feeling. Now I keep coming back to that 3rd one, the original as shot. The light on that cardon is spectacular, while the darker background shows enough texture to really compliment the cardon. Today it is my favorite.

Yep. The lenses for digital cameras are now really expensive and it's primarily for the electronics for autofocusing, something I find no use for. I'm not a fan of the Baja racing. It's frustrating to pay for something i don't need.

There are adaptors for almost everything including using my older FD lenses on the EOS system. Not only that, I can use my Hassy Zeiss lenses as well. Hate to see all that quality glass gathering dust

Glad you liked the color version. This image was really an accident, an unplanned shot. The entire late afternoon was spent composing a shot of 'Big Red' and waiting until the light was just right. After it was over and everything was in shade I saw the cardon as I was putting the gear away. It took several double takes before deciding that this was worth setting up once again.
