Zion the Magnificent

Thank you for viewing

Zion Canyon with bridge over the Virgin River.

 

Right after shooting this and packing up a big stag strolled out into the water just under the bridge. I did not have a long enough tele with me anyway.

What I love about this image is that it is unique and quite different than what every other knucklehead with a camera does, i.e., they all photograph from the bridge below. This has fabulous depth and light-play, and gives a real sense of the canyon-bound nature of the scene. Excellent composition and processing. Thanks for being different! Cheers! Chris

 

I tried to give you the 7/7, but apparently you gave me a set in the last two weeks. Shame on you! ;-)

7/7. Wow, just WOW!

well done

Superior Zion photo Jeff. This really conveys the scale of this incredible place. I've been once years ago before I knew what I was doing with a camera in hand. You certainly know what you are doing with one in hand!

Beautiful! Is this an HDR or composit? Love the lighting and clouds.

Hello Dominick, thank you.

 

No HDR, just a two exposure blend with layer masks.

Magnificent. My regards for you and your really magnificent model !

 

PS And my "tribute" :)

The bridge quietly makes the image. Thanks for the brief tech comment.
