Angel's Landing (Zion NP) - 4 views

sdommin

Angel's Landing is the "centerpiece" (for me) of Zion Nat'l Park. I can't resist photographing it in any season or lighting. Here are 4 views, with 4 different cameras, at 4 different dates, each at a (slightly) different location and time of day...

March 2002, Canon G2


March 2003, Canon D60


April 2003, Canon G3


November 2005, Sony R1

All nice shots Scott. I particularly love the tonal range in #3. it's a magnificent place to do photography for sure.

Howdy Scott,

Nice to see you still around. : Those are all great shots. I especially like the 3rd one. My wife and I were in Zion last year. What a beautiful place! I just wished I lived closer. :cry

Take care,

James

The comparison is great
I know I've been there... back in the film days. I can't remember if I shot slide or print... now, hmmm, since I'm "so" well organized, where are those photos?

Digital sure makes it easier to be organized!

The R1 colors appear a little more subdued... do you find the same thing? But that blue sky sure is silky smooth.

Thanks to one and all! I envy those who are going on the trip next month - I hope Zion and Bryce can handle it!

Dee - actually, that one is the only one of the four that I shot in RAW, so its probably more a matter of processing than anything else. I've heard people say that the R1's JPG colors are a bit too saturated (like most Sonys). I don't agree, since I like 'em that way.
