Willis Canyon

[singlepic id=1235 w=480 float=left] 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. … Continue reading

Navajo Arch

[singlepic id=1233 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading

Bull Valley Gorge

[singlepic id=1232 h=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading

Arches Primitive Trail 2

[singlepic id=1231 w=480 float=left] 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.

Future Arches

[singlepic id=1230 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading

Arches Primitive Trail

[singlepic id=1229 w=480 float=left] 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,… Continue reading

Balanced Rock

[singlepic id=1228 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading

Double Arch

[singlepic id=1226 w=480 float=left] I’ve posted a couple shots that were very similar to this one before, specifically back here.  This one is a more naturally processed single exposure as opposed to the composite of seven exposures previously.  The previous version is HDRed to excess, and while fun to make… Continue reading
