autumn

While in the Eastern Sierra for fall, I stopped by Silver Lake to try capturing the scene by moon light. There were some thin clouds in the sky that produced a circular rainbow around the moon (moon dog). So I went with it... Any thoughts are welcome.

Seeing this yellow tree growing out of the rock wall in the Narrows, I knew I had to stop for a shot. I didn't have any particularly long lenses with me so I did the best I could with my 24-105 to isolate it. Any thoughts are welcome

This was taken in Banff a few years ago, just after an early snowstorm dusted the peaks. I liked the fall colors below transitioning into winter above. Any thoughts are welcome.

What's my favorite way to avoid crowds and boring blue skies at a popular icon? Shoot it by the light of the moon. Here's the view from the bridge in Zion lit by a quarter Moon. Any thoughts are welcome.

I made the obligatory stop at Conway Summit during a fall color trip to the Eastern Sierra a few years ago. The clouds coming in over the top of the peaks would soon close the passes, giving me a nice detour to get home. Any thoughts are welcome.

I've found the Topaz Impressions art filters to be excellent for realistic painting effects. Most effects are named for the artist who's technique they mimic, then you can change many parameters. This is my version of the Van Gogh filter on some fall leaves in my neighborhood. Impasto No...

Like most others that have visited Zion, I've stopped at the Canyon Junction bridge many times to take in the view and take some shots of the Watchman. On this trip I avoided the sunset crowds, but after shooting sunrise at the Canyon Overlook I stopped here, intrigued by the soft light. The...

Here are some shots from my trek through the Narrows in Zion 10 days ago. Awesome hike if you've never done it, but I was really thankful to get back on solid, dry land when I was done. We definitely had some nice fall color, so I've included some focusing on the water and walls and a couple...

I've had a chance to process some more images from my hike to the Subway in Zion a week ago, so here are some favorites with a few different compositions. The light was beautiful, giving me a nice glow in the "tube" and there was some good fall color above the Subway that I wanted to include...

While hiking the Narrows on Zion I had to stop and capture these trees against the canyon wall with the water flowing through the foreground. The biggest challenge was getting a clear view between hikers (cloned out a couple...). Any thoughts are welcome.

Here are a few compositions of Archangel Falls near the Subway in Zion National Park. I was definitely looking forward to shooting this with some autumn colors so I stopped here both coming and going. The first two are landscape and portrait optios of the more classic view. The last is an...

This was taken on Saturday in my first visit to the Narrows in Zion. It was a beautiful day and a gorgeous hike. I'll have plenty more to share when I get a chance to do some serious processing. Any thoughts are welcome.

Taken last weekend in Zion National Park. I timed the trip hoping for some nice fall color and found plenty along the "trail" to the Subway itself. I was also happy to have gotten a nice glow off the canyon wall reflecting into the Subway. Any thoughts are welcome.

I just came back from a weekend in Zion and have quite a few shots to go through. As a warm up, here's a quick edit of the view heading into the Subway. Any thoughts are welcome.

New here and 1st post, so hello everyone. My friend Barry Hamilton invited me to join, thanks Barry buddy! Jim, I remember you from quite a while back on the FM forum, hello! Here is a shot I captured yesterday in the Tumwater Canyon of the beautiful Wenatchee River in Washington state. I...

This is a small creek near the Bloody Canyon trailhead in the Eastern Sierra. Any thoughts are welcome.

Here's a late afternoon shot from the beaver ponds in Lundy Canyon. The light clouds were kind enough to give me a halo around the sun. Any thoughts are welcome.
