Second shot from in Willis Canyon, taken about 5 hours later and showing off the fun subjective portion of photography. It’s the same place as the previous picture, and the color balance of both looks “right” to me. This one was taken late in the evening, so the yellow sunset… Continue reading
I was all excited to post a few more pictures of the slot canyons in Grand Staircase Escalante, but as it turns out, I have already posted what I thought were the best shots back here. None the less here’s one more… this is Willis Canyon. It wasn’t a major… Continue reading
This is your comedic interlude before some pictures of slot canyons in Grand Staircase Escalante. It’s a cow. An angry looking cow. On a wall. Watching over a toilet. I have no further details or better explanation. Picture taken with Sony a6000, E PS 16-50mm lens @ 16mm, f/3.5, 1/30… Continue reading
Back to Arches, because I was told that this should be today’s picture. This is from inside Navajo Arch. We were there just after rain, so there was a small pond going on. I was able to get past the water, thanks in part to waterproof boots and for most… Continue reading
I skipped over a chunk of the Zion Narrows and Grand Canyon pictures because, though they were very cool places to hike, we were not there at a time of day that really made good photos. This one is from Bull Valley Gorge, a small slot canyon in Grand Staircase… Continue reading
Like the picture from Wednesday, there’s nothing specifically important about this picture, it’s the 180 view from the location of the picture from Wednesday. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm @ 24mm, f/8.0, various shutter, ISO 100.
A shot out past the horn on one of the fins with some people on top for scale. I don’t remember the geological details, but these fins come into existence when the softer rock erodes from between them and then arches come into existence when there happens to be softer… Continue reading
There’s nothing specifically important about this picture. It was taken at the end of a hike as we were coming off the “primitive trail” out of the fins in Arches National Park. It’s a pretty obvious HDR shot, but in this case I think that’s OK, or at least OK… Continue reading
Happy St. Patrick’s day… here’s a picture that has absolutely nothing to do with that. I posted a very similar picture previously, but this truly is a different shot. Taken at the very tail end of sunset when only the distant mountains were catching the pink light. Moments before you… Continue reading
The view out from under Double Arch in Arches National Park. I strongly suspect this was after the nasty weather blew over. Picture taken with Panasonic TS-4, lens @ 4.9mm (28mm eq.), f/3.3, 1/320 sec, ISO 160
