Itineraries in Exploring Bryce Canyon National Parke

While taking in views looking to the southeast at the overlook at Yovimpa Point in Bryce Canyon National Park. My thinking in composing this image was to create a layered look with the nearby escarpment and eroded formations of hoodoos leading off to the southern Utah landscape covered with trees on the hillsides and plateaus. The next one is to take advantage of a color contrast between the earth tones and the greens and yellows of the trees. I angled my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to create more of a sweeping view across this landscape. I felt that would add a little sense of grandeur to the terrain relief present as well as bringing the horizon higher into the image. It would also help to minimize the sun shining directly across the lens and creating lens flares as it was still low in the sky's that morning. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
