This 8 second exposure highlights an iconic view of "The Subway" formation inside Zion National Park. This photograph was taken a couple hours after sunrise, before direct sunlight entered the formation. NOTE: Highlights in the upper third of the photograph were slightly burned, but solely to reclaim the detail that the naked eye could see that morning as optimum exposure was set to the lower part of the formation.
This 13 second post sunset, dusk exposure highlights how swiftly the colors of the sandstone shift in the twilight hours in the White Pocket. I enjoyed watching teh whole area turn pink prior to the night's dark setting in. NOTE: A one half stop soft GND filter was used to darken the above the horizon portion of this photograph and more acurately reflect the scene as seen with the human eye that evening.
This is one of my favorite exposures of all time (at this point in time). It is a 863 second wide angle shot of my favorite formation in White Pocket. The formation is lit by a waning moon as astronomical dawn arrives. The world turns and seems to be in line with the flow of the White Pocket, the only time this formations of this area seem to make sense. NOTE: The entire exposure was lightened by one stop as the original exposure was underexposed.
