Morning Sunlight Falling Across the Tips of Cliff Walls (Capitol Reef National Park)
In those early morning hours, I was heading out just shortly after sunrise based on timing to get to the Hickman Bridge when sunlight would be falling across that area. It just so happened as I entered into Capitol Reef National Park that I noticed some of the tips of the cliff walls had sunlight just starting to add a red glow. Composing the image was not difficult as it was just an amazing view to take in and was as simple as pretty much pointing my SLR camera in the right direction. Metering though, I took a little extra time using those points where the sunlight was striking because I didn't want to lose any of the highlights when processing the image later on. I knew I could later pull out the shadowed areas In Capture NX2, minimizing any color casts.
