Zion Leftovers

coscorrosa

Some more photos from my late October trip to Zion that I missed on the first pass of processing (some of these are similar, but slightly better, to ones I chose to process originally and others are completely new):

#1 - Towers of the Virgin at Sunset



#2 - The Watchman:



#3 - The Lone Patriarch:



#4 - The Winding Narrows:



#5 - Autumn on the Zion Plateau:



I had some company while taking photos, and thankfully not all of it was carrying a tripod.

#6:



#7:



#8:

Apparently there were more turkeys in this set than I thought!

very nice, Ron. #2 is fabulous!

Man, you really nailed the essence of Zion. The first two in particular... whew!

No turkeys, Ron--a nice series, as always. I really like #5--nice selection of trees for this comp and the mix of vertical and horizontal lines is very appealing. I also like #2--the lighting is beautiful.

Nice set, Ron. #2 is truly majestic and love the colors and light in #4.

Excellent set, Ron. But #7 is a turkey.

I'm curious, where you shot the Watchman from. Did you hike up the river? Use a telephoto or what? Great clouds in that one.

I was lucky to have a few nights with really nice light at sunset, this was one of them.

Hopefully I'll be able to return in the not-too-distant future and grab a few shots and explore a few more places I didn't have time on this last trip.

Thanks Lauren - the fall colors (shot #5) were just starting to peak in the plateau when I was there and would be peaking in the canyon about a week later. The plateau is one area I really want to explore more on my return trip.

I hate to admit it, but I think you're right on #7. For the Watchman shot I scrambled up the hill behind the museum which gives you a pretty good perspective and angle, the shot was at 45mm on a full frame.

Not sure how I missed these Ron. I love #2,4,5 and the little birdie is really a lovely shot perfect DOF. Now the turkey is another thing, I have a yard full of them throughout the day and they crap on everthing! whew, that felt good to get off my chest.

What a great series! I cannot pick a favorite--every one is terrific. Best, Pam

Grat shot of the Watchman. Brings back memories. Zion is one of the aprks I ahve been to that I would like to visit again, soon. I heard they closed the park yesterday due to the weather (rainfall).
