Ghost Ranch in the Land of Enchantment

My wife and I had a wonderful getaway weekend to celebrate our 54th anniversary. We visited the area around Abiquiu, NM and thoroughly enjoyed a private movie tour at Ghost Ranch https://www.ghostranch.org/. Our tour took us through locked gates to private areas of the ranch where many movie scenes have been filmed. Theses areas are pristine, void of people and utility poles, and with gorgeous scenery – a mecca for photographers.

These photos were captured with my favorite travel camera – a Nikon Z50 mirrorless camera fitted with the basic 16-50mm kit lens. I love this camera because it’s light weight and compact, and because it’s capable of producing professional quality images. I shoot in Camera Raw and use Adobe Camera Raw for editing the raw files with final touch up editing in Photoshop CC.

In my professional work I normally shoot headshots, portraits, family photos and events. I enjoy landscape and nature photography, but it doesn’t pay the bills – so photographing these natural wonders was especially enjoyable. I hope that my photos do justice to the beauty of this area and give my readers some enjoyment as well. #ghostranch
