Taos Pueblo ©Miles HeckerCLICK ABOVE IMAGE TO SEE GOOGLE MAP LOCATION

SEASONS

Shots of this Peublo  work best in soft  or overcast light.  I  shot this photo on an overcast  morning  in late March. It was shot at a 35mm focal length equivalent on an 35mm full frame DSLR. Outdoor light in New Mexico is very bright and harsh in the summer. I strongly recommend winter or overcast days as the best time for exterior architectural photography lightwise.

TIMES

Early morning gives the best and softest light. The light may be equally soft just before sunset, but you run the risk of the wind coming up. In Taos Pueblo it is customary to ask any tribal member for permission before taking their photo.There is a $6 charge for each camera carried in the Pueblo.

LENS & FILTERS

LENS: 24-70mm for 35mm cameras,  17-40mm for crop sensor cameras

FILTERS: a 2 stop soft split ND filter might help tone down bright skies
