Telephoto lens for mesa landscape photography in New Mexico

At the end of a rural land real estate shoot in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, near Abiquiu Lake, I noticed some mesas in the distance. I did not need to get photographs of them for the client, but one of my axioms is a real photographer always stops to get a photo if he/she sees an opportunity. So I got out my Sony a7 III with Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G Master lens attached to get these shots, as the mesas were quite far away and they would look tiny in a wide angle lens one might normally think to use for landscape photography. The sun was going down, and there were good clouds in the sky, a recipe for near ideal landscape photography conditions.

Clouds making for stunning rural land real estate photos in New Mexico

As the best and most prolific rural land real estate photographer in the state of New Mexico, I am constantly looking at weather reports for trying to get the best possible skies for client shoots. On a day like this in Taos, New Mexico, the clouds were absolutely dramatically stunning and the results were over 50 photos from around the Carson Estates area near Taos, New Mexico that delivered exactly what my client, Hemingway Land Company, wanted for grabbing the attention of land buying customers who will likely be buying sight unseen. I covered dozens of miles off road and hours of getting in and out of my Jeep from noon to sunset to create this collection of rural land real estate photographs that will help my client sell the land faster.

Planning for dramatic skies for rural land real estate photography

I have been spending a lot of time in Cibola County, New Mexico lately! This visit was very purposeful for rural land real estate photography client Hemingway Land Company. I had to wait over 2 weeks for there to finally be clouds in this area before I could go and make these photographs because as you can see, clouds add a lot of visual impact to these images that plain blue skies would not. Careful weather checking and planning went into making this shoot happen on just the right day to deliver the best results for my client.

2 weeks in the desert (of Rio Rancho)

I have been spending a lot of time in the desert northwest of Rio Rancho, New Mexico the past two weeks for rural land real estate photography. I am shooting three properties per evening, circling back to each of the three to make one of my signature HDR sunset photos. Here are some of the highlights of the past two weeks of being out in the desert with the jack rabbits, coyotes, and tarantulas!

Quemado is a hidden gem small New Mexico town

Even for someone who has been to hundreds of rural land real estate properties in more than half the counties in New Mexico, there are still some areas I have not yet been. Such was the case when I visited Quemado, New Mexico for Hemingway Land recently. In the far west-central part of New Mexico, near no major highway, nor any city, Quemado is one would expect a quiet place with echos of when it was a more bustling town. If you are looking for a quiet place to have a weekend getaway, nearby Quemado Lake makes a visit to Quemado a hidden gem exploring opportunity. I recommend staying at Casa Azul, everything you want in a B&B experience with a very friendly owner who is a great cook as well!

Getting variety from the same views rural land real estate

Here at Jason Collin Photography rural land real estate is a staple of my business, especially with Hemingway Land, now over 3 years working together! I had a huge 18 property shoot in Socorro County recently for this client. This type of shoot takes a lot of prep work, making sure I plot out the properties in the most efficient order, not any possible impassable roads, and then perhaps the biggest challenge, trying to get the photos to look somewhat different even though all 18 properties essentially had the same open views, and were all just empty, featureless land. How to get variety then? Well, have the clouds change helps. Then sometimes I frame the sun to the upper left, or the upper right, or I move the horizon higher or lower in the frame too.
