Another from Bryce – this was another that wasn’t really thought out, but I like how it turned out. This was on the Queen’s Garden hike. It was actually surprisingly dark at the bottom of the canyon as evidence by the ISO 400 need just to keep the shutter speed… Continue reading
This picture is from the day at Bryce Canyon in Utah. As mentioned when I posted the bulk of the pictures before, this was mostly a midday visit and getting good pictures was difficult. On one hand, the contrast was very high due to the bright sun and abundance of… Continue reading
