Image 15 - First Utah Trip - Mud Hole

As Rob and Brad and I continued our hike down Buckskin Gulch, in the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, we came upon this dried out mud hole.  It was very unique and I'm not sure that I really properly explored it visually.  The patterns and shadows were so cool.  I wish I had spent a little more time trying to work some other compositions.
I shot this on October 15th 2013 at about 2:45 in the afternoon.  This was a sheet of Kodak Tri-X Pan 320, rated at 400 iso and given plus development in PMK... for 16:40 minutes at 20C.  I shot it with my Ebony view camera and a longish 200mm lens.  A #25 Red Filter helps to increase the contrast between the shadows and the dried mud.  The exposure was for 1/8 second at F20.0.
This is another of the images that is to be included in the photo album I am working on.
