This is at the end of the shuttle line, and about a one mile walk up the riverwalk. I parked myself on a rock in the middle of the river.

    This about half a mile closer to the shuttle stop, facing down canyon.

    The first is beautiful. The river walk is one of the nicest walks in the park.

    Thanks, guys. Zion's a pretty cool place. Though I'm sure in the right hands, doc's conference room would look as nice. naughty.gif

    Is that a dare?



    (I'd try if I didn't think the shutter would wake everyone up lol3.gif)

    Sid,

    I likee! I love the long exposure to blur the water. I don't suppose you have a comparison photo of number two with a short exposure? The sun reflecting off the water could have its own appeal.

    I sure wish I was there.

    BTW, and completely off topic, are you a Treb builder? "Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam"

    Thanks,

    Ziggy, the original is a composite of three shots.

    Here's a quick, rough treatment of a single shot, showing what you're asking for. I see your point about the water. Without rocks, the smoothing of an ND filter isn't necessarily desirable.

    And no, I don't build trebuchets! lol3.gif
