30-second exposure to capture streaking clouds at sunrise, Arches

National Park, UT

Autumn comes to the Narrows of the Virgin River, Zion National Park,

UT.

great colors, a richly layered comp, nicely done!

great mood, excellent color

I found a small dry space in a grotto beneath a split waterfall deep in a

remote red rock slot canyon in Utah. Looking back through the falls, the

canyon walls glowed with reflected light from sunlit rocks above.

Hi, thanks! These are Atlantic horseshoe crabs, which come ashore by the hundreds of thousands to spawn every summer on the Delaware Bay. They were very much alive and moving around quite a bit when I took this photo.

Best regards,

Ian Plant

great moment captured with the passing cloud . . . nicely done!

powerful composition, well done!

Gorgeous light, great shot!

One-hour star trail at the Wahweap Hoodoos. Light source is a distant

campfire.

great tones in this B&W, really nicely composed, excellent image

Really nice image Scott! I think the sunburst adds a unique element.

Great visual flow in this image, I also love the monotone feel. Beautiful

30 second exposure above the clouds in Great Smoky Mountains

National Park. Taken right after sunset when the Earth's shadow began

to appear in the sky (the blue part right beneath the pink, which is the

upper atmosphere still catching sunset light), with a whole bunch of ND

filters to blur the moving clouds.

A passing cloud over a "brainrock" formation evokes the image of a

smoking volcano, Vermillion Cliffs, Arizona. B&W conversion done in

photoshop.

Sunrays through fog, Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National

Park. Not too often that one gets to photograph sunbeams pointing up!

An explosion of reflected color and canyon glow in the Narrows of the

Virgin River, Zion National Park, Utah.

Half-hour exposure of the stars. I bounced light off of a nearby rock with

my flashlight during the exposure to illuminate the rocks, and then rim

lit the arch with a rd gel over the flashlight.

Sunbeams breaking through fog hanging on the shadowed side of a hill

in winter, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.

what a great view! nicely done

30 second exposure at twilight above moving clouds, Great Smoky

Mountains National Park. The clouds, which are only lit by reflected

light from the darkening blue sky above, take on a blueish cast. It was

so dark when I took this photo, I couldn't see well enough to focus - got

lucky and guessed right!

Really great shape formed by the dune, wonderful ripples, love the contrast between the shadows and sunlit parts of the scene!

The ancient Greeks considered a rainbow to be a path linking the

heavens and earth. Scientists consider a rainbow to be a meteorological

phenomenon that causes a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when

the sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the atmosphere. I just think

they're pretty! Los Glaciares National Park, Patagonia, Argentina.

love the moving water around the rock, it creates a great focal point, well done!
