San Juan Basin Badlands: E-M1, E-PM2
2

Mesa Chijuilla region of the San Juan Basin Badlands, near the tiny town of Cuba, NM. The San Juan Basin is a region covering much of central and western New Mexico, which includes features such as the Bisti, De-Na-Zin and Ojito wildernesses. This particular region is BLM-administered and the roads are mostly used as access for oil drilling sites.

Most of these taken with the E-M1 and 11-22. This also marked the first time I've used the E-PM2 as a secondary camera to run my 40-150 on. Works pretty nicely after I got it set up to cope with shutter shock. The OLED screen is the most visible I've used under direct sunlight.

What a fantastic set of photos-- I love them.  #3 really jumped out at me as some kind of pre-historic monster, and I like the flower shot too, but don't recognize the flower-- delicate with excellent bokeh.  Thanks for posting-- a really unusual area geologically.

Simply marvellous. I especially like the skeleton, and the industrial installation, whatever that is.

I never knew of the existence of this place.

Thanks for posting these photos. Some are very nice!
