Yellow to Red

I particularly wanted to document the contrasting colors of the White Pocket area in the Vermillion Cliffs WIlderness area. This crevace highlights the flow from yellow to orange and red as one peers deeper into the curves. Last light hits the sentinal and the shadow of the Vermillion Cliffs can be seen on the horizon in the distance. NOTE: A one stop soft GND filter was used to darken the above the horizon portion of this image and more acurately portray the scene that evening.

Scoop

The analogy of ice cream scoops is often made to describe the oddly shaped and colored formations of the White Pocket area. I see it in this photograph. NOTE: No major edits were made to this photograph.

Candyland

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.

White Pocket Profile

This 15 second exposure highlights the profile of one of the most striking formations in the White Pocket area. The colors seem to be contrived, but rest assured they are not. NOTE: A one half stop soft GND filter was used to darken the above the horizon portion of this image and create a more acurate depiction of what they human eye would have seen that morning.

Vermillion Polaris

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.
