Storm Over Zion #4 Zion National Park, Utah 2012
Oops, I said yesterday that was the last of the pictorial images for a while, then I realized I still had this one from the same series. So now it’s the last–until perhaps I come up with yet another one.]]>POTD: Storm Over Zion #4 Read More »

Still doing the Bierstadt thing here, i.e., take some wild and craggy peaks and make them look even more so.

Storm Over Zion #1 Zion National Park, Utah 2012
The first day in Zion we were in t-shirts and shorts and fought hoards of people trying to walk the narrow trails in Zion Canyon. Yesterday we hiked off trail in slot canyons, saw no one and got hit by rain, then sleet, then snow (and my rain gear is safely stashed at home in Montana). Guess which day we liked better? (Hint: too much sun makes for a dull day.) With the moody weather, I finally got some color images that I really like–this time by channeling Albert Bierstadt and exercising some liberal artistic license with the images in Photoshop.]]>POTD: Storm Over Zion #1 Read More »
Half-Moon Zion National Park, Utah 2011
We’re in Zion for a couple of days. With this shot I guess I was trying to channel Ansel Adams and tease out a classic black and white landscape. There’s no Half Dome here though so I had to settle for a half moon. The funny thing is that I was really responding to all the brilliant colors in the canyon yesterday so I was sure I was going to end up with all color images for a change. But when I got to working with them on the computer last night, I only liked the results in black and white. So much for channeling Ansel Adams, the king of previsualization of image results as part of his artistic workflow.
