Zion Cliffs and Trees

Zion National Park - Cliffs and Trees

As I talked about earlier this week, Zion National Park allows for some great photography.  A lot of it is that there are cliffs and the floor of Zion is bordered by steep hills and cliff.  There is no true sky horizon.  This shot illustrates how well the trees contrast against the cliff.  Taken with a Phase One P45+ with a 150mm lens.

Iceland Glacier Lagoon

Jökulsárlón - Glacier Lagoon, Iceland

Iceland is amazing.  It’s a small country and island with stunning beauty.  It is an island that where the land itself lives and breaths.  There are geo-thermal areas, volcanos, glaciers, waterfalls and overwhelming vistas.  This past summer I was leader for a Phase One PODAS workshop there and returned from the trip a ton of great images.  I’ll be sharing them here as time goes on.  Today’s image was shot at Jökulsárlón a Glacier Lagoon formed when the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier began to recede.  Icebergs calf off of the glacier and float in this lagoon eventually being washed out to sea.  Many of those end up on a black sand beach.  More on that in another post.  This shot just happened in one of those amazing moments.  I love the beam of sunlight and the blue of the icebergs.  Hope you enjoy it too. Photographed with a Phase One P65+ and 150mm lens.
