Wyming Brook on the outskirts of Sheffield.
A number of the more interesting waterfalls were obscured by fallen trees limiting photo opportunities, especially in the lower part of the brook. At least todays rain should make these small waterfalls look more spectacular!
When you drop into a slot canyon like Lower Antelope, You enter an area of sensory chaos.The problem as a photographer is to make sense of it all.
Over millions of years these slot canyons have been formed by the actions of water and wind on the local sandstone. Now a days you must have a Navaho guide which was not always so. After a flash flood took the lives of 10 tourists in August of 1995, a Navaho guide that was familiar with the local canyons became mandatory with entry.
This photo was shot hand held with an ISO of 500. I wanted to take as many shots as I could in the limited space in the canyon and limited time allowed.
The point of light became the focal point and the color reflections off the wall added to the sensual textures of the worn walls. It became a balance of light and color as the sun passed over head and light reflected off the canyon walls.
The clouds kept building and I was worried that i might not get any colour from the sunrise, but it slipped underneath the clouds.
Happy Wednesday Folks. Yesterday was an amazing shooting day in Page, Arizona. Jones and I tacked Upper and Lower Antelope. The lighting yesterday was diffused as compared to my trip there in April which resulted in an amazing panoply of colors especially in Lower Antelope which was more amazing of a shoot.
Today, in a few minutes, we take off for the Wave.
See you out in the field.
Looking down Broadway in San Francisco with the Bay Bridge and the Port of Oakland looming in the distance. At times I wonder about all the objects that make up our lives and how we process them.
Consider the words of Shankara, the famous Hindu philosopher:
"All things -- from Brahma the creator down to a single blade of grass -- are. . .simply appearances and not real."
If this is true, just what the heck are we looking at? Maybe the lens does lie.

With this river being at record lows I was able to wade back and forth across the river all the way next to the falls. Which all in its self was pretty cool. I decided on this shot. I have one from right next to the falls that I will post later, which won't even look like it came from this waterfall. If you look and the left side of the waterfall you can see a hint of a rainbow.
I expected a cloudy day, but it was clear as could be on my way to Ouzel Falls. I knew I would never make it to Ouzel Falls before the light was harsh, so I stopped on the way. Copeland Falls (both upper and lower) is only 1/3 of a mile up a flat easy trail from the parking area.
Ouzel Falls is spectacular, but between the light and the extreme mist, I don't have anything to show for it. Great hike and definitely worth my time to go back on a cloudy day.
Lower Cascades (in my own backyard) - Here, instead of emphasizing the falls, I have used an HDR/Panoramic technique to emphasize the massive rock walls and sky. In the film days this would have been next to impossible. The most impressive part of the image can't be seen on the web and that is the amazing detail produced by using such a technique.
This scene greets the shivering hiker, and immediately one forgets the cold water torture to get here

Yesterday we set out for Upper Cathedral Lake, but since I get lost easily we ended up at Lower Cathedral Lake…I think. The lake was frozen, the air was cold, the wind was brutal, the elevation was rough, the sunset was amazing (but it was behind me), the hike back was dark. All that said, it’s hard to complain about a place this gorgeous.

Continuing the routine, L-HLA816 begins shoving light into the former Chrysler Plant Lead, backing down toward what was once a yard filled of Dodge and Plymouth products. Now, it sits as a yard barely filled with revenue cars, with BNSF occasionally bringing in cars in for storage. Operations within the yard are handled by Burlington Junction Railway which makes sporadic runs switching the remaining customers. Coming back out, 816 would have a cut of several 2-Bay hoppers plus a string of boxcars that had been tucked away in storage, making the short local the size of some manifest.
