Canyon Colors

Gallery: LandscapePosted October 10, 2010148 views6 comments

Camping at Romana Mesa in Southern Utah high above Lake Powell. Was hoping for some stormlight or clouds for sunset, but the setting sun did a wonderful job lighting up Navajo Mountain and the canyons around the lake in an almost lavendar light. Didn't change color but boosted the contrast. Nikon D80 Sigma 70-300 lens

That's some intense color, and quite a wonderful scene.

Really enjoy the contrasts in color, warm and cool tones. Really nice.

Definitely captures the feel of the desert at sunset. I like the way the telephoto compresses things and makes the more abstract.

The dying light really makes this one Donald. I like exploring the dark areas and the soft light is nice as well.

Very good use of telephoto. The glow is just beautiful.
