RE: Cedar Breaks/Bryce Canyon 2010 Posted Sunday, July 11, 2010 07:10 PM bryce_point_-_sunrise.jpg Having said that the sunrise was not as spectacular as I expected at Bryce Canyon, I found this photo taken from Bryce Point as the sunlight hit deeper in the amphitheater. |

RE: Cedar Breaks/Bryce Canyon 2010 Posted Sunday, July 11, 2010 08:41 PM Absolutely beautiful, Bill! The sunrise shot that is. Regarding us scampering up , I actually got very concerned because of my pushing for us to get to the car before the storm hit because Polly was having a tougher time than I coming up the switchbacks, next time we'll just be sure to be better prepared for hiking and have rain gear with us on any hike and not worry if the rains come down. |

RE: Cedar Breaks/Bryce Canyon 2010 Posted Tuesday, July 13, 2010 07:07 AM bryce_point_sunrise_-_west.jpg Since you seemed to enjoy the sunrise photo at Bryce Point, I found this picture which you probably will not see elsewhere. As we waited to see the sunlight play with the hoodoos, we noticed to the west several mesas that were being illuminated first. So this picture was taken about 5 minutes before amphitheater show. |

RE: Cedar Breaks/Bryce Canyon 2010 Posted Tuesday, July 13, 2010 08:14 AM That is a pretty shot also! It reminded me of an article I had read regarding photography in the Grand Teton NP long ago. The article stated that photographers had photographed every landscape possible at GTNP but there was always another photo to be had because of different lighting conditions. And think about it, sunrise, sunset, full sun, cloudy, raining, winter, summer, fall, spring, storming, etc. They say Ansel Adams, a great black & white photographer, would see a scene and make notes to come back at a certain time of year to catch the lighting he wanted. Enjoying the parks and the West as you do, I'll bet you've seen some of his works as the one of aspens, Moonrise over ????, can't remember the name of the little mexican village with the cemetery in the foreground, Gotta run! Thanks for sharing these photos! |

RE: Cedar Breaks/Bryce Canyon 2010 Posted Tuesday, July 13, 2010 07:14 PM aa_aspens_northern_new_mexico_1958.jpg Are you saying that you clicked on the link in my message with no results? It is the first time I have tried to use that particular feature on this website. I looked up Aspen by AA - years ago I looked at his works but remember very little. For the aspen, I uploaded the pic instead of linking to it.

RE: Cedar Breaks/Bryce Canyon 2010 Posted Tuesday, July 13, 2010 07:47 PM :) Hey, I'm still runing ME (Millenium Edition) on my desktop. And, I just saw last night where MS is terminating support for XP soon. On the Moonrise post I was able to open the link but the photo did not open, or it's possible it was just slower than my patience. Had no trouble viewing Aspens, thanks for sending it. Color is wonderful but there is still something about B&W when done well. Wow, I had not seen such prices before. Of course, he was probably using a large format camera, on a tripod, plus his expertise and experience, all put together can produce no less than outstanding photographs. |

RE: Cedar Breaks/Bryce Canyon 2010 Posted Tuesday, July 13, 2010 09:03 PM How the dickens do you keep up with this website and the one for Larry? Do you sleep? Like I said, looks like you and Johnny and I laid a bunch of words down in the last few weeks. Hope someone besides us enjoys the posts. Bill |
