Bryce Sunrise

It’s been several years since I had been to Bryce Canyon National Park.  I visited Bryve back in the fall and just now I’m really getting a chnce to edit and work my images.  I like to photograph Bryce with long lenses.  I have done way too many postcard shots of Bryce.  So, I set my tripod up and put on a 100-400mm lens on my Sony a7r III and started to search through the viewfinder.  The landscape would change as the sun would rise and shadows and light would dance.  It was  great and I had a chance to make some real nice expsoures.  This is one of them.

Magical Bryce

Bryce National PArk

Bryce National PArk is a rather small park but certainly offers up some spectacular sights.  As with all National Parks I visit, I love the beauty of them but as a photographer I get frustrated with the clichéd feeling of pictures.  Certainly it is great to be able to take a photo from the same location many famous landscape photographers have made their images.  So, when I find myself shooting at the locations I do everything I can to get something different.  Something that is from a new angle, with a different lens or different lighting.  If I can walk away with a different but still recognizable image then I have accomplished part of my mission. This image was made at Bryce but done with a long lens and isolates a certain part of the Hoodoos.  Light also played a factor in this image giving the hillside I was shooting a very special glow.

Bryce Is Nice

Bryce is one of those small gems of a location.  It’s not a large area but it is rich in photographic possibilities.  I have come to like Bryce in the November – December time farm with snow if one is so lucky to get snow.  I also like shooting with long lenses and capturing only part of the landscape.  Best of all s to take a small hime and explore the valley and shoot from different angles. Get off the tourist lookout areas.

Hanging On

Tree Hanging On, Bryce Canyon

On one of my trips to Bryce Canyon I had one of those magic moment light sunrises.   Snow and this golden light and so much to shoot.  This is one shot. I like the tree with the softer focus of the hillside in the background.  Because this was short with a Phase One camera there is immense detail in the shot.  The roots clinging to the rocky surface and the try trying to defy the elements.  Love it!
