New on 500px : Zion Canyon by leland2 by leland2

Utah, southern, Dramatic panoramic of Zion Canyon in Zion National Park. Capturing the grandeur of a large landscape scene can be one of the most difficult challenges. Far to often the magnificence is lost when rendered on a small two dimensional plane. A lifetime is spent in search of ideal conditions along with beautiful light that might, among other things, create the illusion of a three dimensional space. This clearing storm in Zion National Park of southern Utah was just such an opportunity. I refer to it sometimes as the attempt to do a landscape justice. When the conditions are right, everything has to be done correctly in what can be a very short period of time. Over the decades I’ve missed far more opportunities than I’ve been successful at. It’s the nature of the game and the learning process.

The Milky Way streaks across the clear African sky, warmed by a faint glow from nearby towns. The Baobab tree was illuminated by a small torch, adding definition to an almost solid silhouette.

Generals Highway, Sequoia National Park, Ca.

Recently my wife and I ventured up to Sequoia National Park expecting Spring like conditions – which is what we got when we got there. But we didn’t expect to wake up to a foot of snow the next day.

A late seasonal storm brought in two days of snow for me to shoot in. I gotta say, I’ve never shot Sequoia in the snow and it made it much more dramatic for me. I loved it.

Above you’ll find a spot I picked out along the Generals Highway that had these monstrous Sequoias alongside the road. I set up and waited for a car to pass to show the contrast in size. Ironically a Mini Cooper passed by. Perfect!
