St. George’s Mormon Temple
This is the dominant architectural fixure in my community. I was hoping for more interesting sky. Also, I missed the prime Fall foliage by a few weeks. But you get the idea, right?
Oh no! Zion again?
Folks, I just can’t get enough of Zion National Park. We had some rain recently and it washed the loose sand off of the rock and brought out some stunning color. Combine that with exceptional angular light from a low sun and the results had a special feel to them. For you technical folks – these were all processed using integrative techniques bouncing back and forth between Lightroom and Photoshop, exploiting the best features of each program. One of these was a HDR capture preprocessed in Photomatix Pro. I’ll let you try and guess which one.
Fall Colors Starting in Southern Zion
This autumn is unusual for me. Being from Ohio, I am used to a sudden change in the trees and then a quick leaf drop. Here in Utah things really slow down. The aspens take there time, seasoning the landscape rather than suffocating it. I was surprised to find some attractive red maples and rust colored oaks; typically eastern species. The cottonwoods and willows haven’t budged and provide a nice green contrast to the pallet.
Autumn Comes To Utah!
Just a few shots I mustered together during a shoot yesterday with my buddy Jerry Emery. More to follow…
Zion Riverwalk Waterfall
Last week I went along Zion’s Riverwalk trail and found this picturesque waterfall. Well, actually, it is five waterfalls in one.
Short Trip to North Rim Grand Canyon
Yesterday I explored the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. I have to say that it was exceedingly difficult to extract any photographs due to recent wildfires and a very heavy layer of smog. Nevertheless, I did what I could. Here are a few results. I hope to return in a month or so when the aspens have turned yellow (that is, if they haven’t all burned down).

Just Around the Corner!
Yesterday I went out shooting sunrise at Snow Canyon State Park and sunset at Sand Hollow State Park. These are all a few minutes from my home base in St. George, Utah. I thought I would share some of my “selects”. Enjoy!
