Photographing in Bryce Canyon National Park and Winter Fest 2011

The good people at Ruby's Inn, just outside of Bryce Canyon, are holding the annual Spring fling on February 18^th and 19^th. They have asked me to come out and present a wildlife photography class on Saturday night. I am really excited to join them this year and look forward to spending a couple of days in the Park, even though it will be very chilly. I hope to come back with some snow photos for you to see later this month.

There is no place better to explore the play of light on a landscape than Bryce National Park. You can photograph direct light, reflected light and even re-reflected light. Don't be afraid to use your telephoto lenses to isolate features that interest you. I hope to see you out there this year. Here are a few samples to whet your appetite.  Let me know if you like what you see.  It would be great to hear from you.

Waterfalls

I love to photograph moving water. Two of my favorite places to do this are the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon and Glacier National Park in Northern Montana. I love the color and pristine look of the streams.

I really like the look that can be achieved when you slow the shutter to less that 1/4 second and let the water move through the frame while the shutter is open. I also love to photograph when there is a little fog or mist in the air.
