The Night Watchman

Most photographers want to visit Zion in the Fall when the colors in the trees stand out against the red rocks that surround the canyon... I couldn't wait to see this place though, so I went for the last 4 days. I thought the leafless winter trees could contribute to a cool, darker, creepier shot than is usually seen- so I waited around for the blue hour and snapped a few shots from the footbridge overlooking The Virgin river towards The Watchman... the stormy skies added the perfect backdrop...

 

This is straight out of the camera- I only opened it in Photoshop to crop and resize...
