Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks offer some of the grandest scenery in North America. However, they are not easy places to photograph. Visitors are dwarfed by the immensity of the granite monuments that rise above the Virgin River Canyon in Zion, while the fantastic shapes and colors of the hoodoos in Bryce Canyon almost overwhelm a photographer with too many options. We’ll be giving hands-on instruction on how to compose dramatic landscapes in the midst of such staggering scenery. Join us for five days of exploration and photography in these very different locations.
Zion is a place of wonderful variety. With any luck at all, we’ll have scarlet maples (yes, there are maples in the west) to play with in the shadow of Zion’s monoliths, and that’s just the beginning. We’ll have cascades on the Virgin River, slick-rock canyons, magnificent mountain vistas, a good possibility of mule deer and bighorn sheep, and all of this will be decorated by autumn ash and cottonwoods.
While it’s difficult to take a bad picture in Bryce Canyon, it can be tough to take an exceptional one. We’ll be experimenting with the shapes and colors of the rock formations, as well as capturing the quintessential grand scenic. Light direction is something else we’ll be experimenting with, for the direction of the light plays a big role in how colorful the rocks are.
