A wonderful twisted tree trunk caught my eye as I was coming down from Checkerboard Mesa in Zion National Park. I stopped and lit it up with a flashlight and used a long exposure to get the stars in the photo also.
While coming down from the east entrance and through the tunnel I noticed this wonderful bed of dried grasses running along the river. I stopped and sat on the river bank and took this shot. I really like the lines of the grass, river, and hills of Zion National Park.
This is a scene in the Big Cottonwood Creek. I really enjoy cascades that look so peaceful amid the rushing torrent of water surrounding them. A couple seconds on the shutter and a very tight aperture allows this flowing water look.
On an outing at Silver Lake in Big Cottonwood Canyon I wanted to shoot the grass reflection in the water until I noticed the wonderful lines of the walkway that leads to a fishing dock immediately behind me.
Using a wine glass, some brightly colored flowers, a little water with food coloring, and a white background with studio lighting I created this lovely setting.
