Sunset Point

[Ben Egbert]

I have been doing this viewpoint for several years and not only have I missed a decent sunset, I have been unhappy with composition. This time I went earlier because I knew light on the clouds would be after light on the terrain. I opted for late evening light and some clouds. I also found a better viewpoint. Next time I am going to see if I can get on the other side of that rock outcrop middle right.

I like the late day light here. Some color in the clouds would be nice but not something I have ever figured out how to arrange for my photo pleasures

I was expecting Bryce until I opened the thread. I do like the scene - I have been at Panorama Point but have not followed the road down to the trailhead for this spot.

This is a nice one Ben, maybe a hair too red in the lower red rocks? But I like this view. It will be interesting if you do end up shooting from that other vantage point, but I really like this composition.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Thanks Jim, I am not sure I have the climbing skills to get there, but maybe it's easier than it looks.

Congrats on the Daily Featured Post Ben!

 

[Ben Egbert]

Thanks Jim. This was my favorite shot of the trip. I was not sure others would agree, and maybe they won't. I guess I am just a sucker for red rocks

 

[Jeffrey]

Yup, I too, am a sucker for red rocks! That's why I like this image. Not really sure where this is.

Thanks everyone, much appreciated. This is in Capitol Reef. The turnout is just before the park headquaters and is called "Panarama Point" The road splits and this is the left road which goes about a 1/2 mile to the parking area. Then 1/3 mile hike to Sunset Point.

Beautiful photo!

 

[Kyle Jones]

The layers of red really work for me.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Great light and clouds. I also would like just a bit more foreground.
