[singlepic id=1837 h=480 float=left] A shot of the Grand Canyon taken while on the descent of the south rim. I think this one does a nice job of showcasing the trail along the cliff wall. Pictures taken with Canon SX130IS, len @ 5mm (28mm eq), 1/640 sec shutter, f/3.4, ISO… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1836 w=480 float=left] This picture isn’t really of anything specific, the clouds and rain just made for some very nice colors and contrast looking out over the park along the hike up to Delicate Arch. I’m not 100% sure that I haven’t posted this one somewhere before, but I… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1835 w=640] Delicate arch and surounding area on what was a less than ideal morning for hikes. We arrived early, but ended up just waiting out a storm in the car until we could hike up to the arch. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 17mm,… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1834 w=480 float=left] Sunset picture of a different type – with the sun casting the pink shade on the mountains. I’m sure that having balanced rock off to the right violates some rule of photographic composition. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 56mm, 1/25 sec shutter,… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1833 w=480 float=left] I’m sure I have posted some pictures of this before, and I’m sure the internet abounds with other pictures of Landscape Arch since it’s one of the more iconic arches in the park, but here’s another just in case the first 500,000 weren’t sufficient. Picture taken… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1832 w=480 float=left] I’m not sure which arch this is, but it had a more interesting foreground than average. The picture was taken late on our last day in the park. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 28mm, 1/200 sec shutter, f/8.0, ISO 400
[singlepic id=1831 w=480 float=left] Last from Bryce Canyon, posted in part because of my recent reading of this article on Luminous Landscape. I was obviously at that point later in the day where the shadows were overtaking the valley. I did some adjusting afterward, otherwise the lower portion of this… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1829 w=480 float=left] Second from Bryce Canyon, same polarization caveat as before, but I’ve done my best to correct it out. It’s odd how a bunch of dead, or at least dead in appearance, trees can look so cool among the red rocks. Probably because they’re the only thing… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1828 h=480 float=left] Moving on to Bryce Canyon, this is one of the bristle cone pines there. I thought it would be a good idea to use a polarizer to keep the brightness of the sky in check, but in hindsight, I think it made the sky look a… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1827 h=480 float=left] This is a shot from Willis Canyon, same as yesterday’s, different look though. Photographic note: there was another guy there taking pictures at the same time and he was standing much further back than I had been and mentioned how standing back and using a longer… Continue reading
