Elemental Zion - Zion National Park, Utah

Please Note: My images are posted here for viewing enjoyment only. All Rights are Reserved.

I am sure none of you have seen this before so behold this amazing scene. In all seriousness we know this is another iconic portion of Zion. As I mentioned in my recent podcast we all deserve the chance to photograph even the popular places, no one person owns a scene because they were there before someone else to photograph it. Now with that said, yes, I do like to shoot non-iconic places as much if not more so but just like most of us I do have a desire to see these places first hand. Now let's get back to the "we all deserve the chance" statement, and maybe add in there courtesy to share popular spaces with your peers. This image is nice yet I am confident I might have found something better but I did not have much time here to shoot this scene. Why? Simply because of a discourteous photographer, that’s why. We showed up here and there were half a dozen folks shooting. We told them please take your time, and we meant this. We waited for quite a while and then when we got shooting we (a group of 4) had been shooting this scene less than 10 min and this guy that had already been shooting before we got there walked up about midday into these falls and setup his medium format camera as if we did not even exist. He was foreign and pretended to not know that it was completely rude. Photographic courtesy is only one language and you don't even need to speak to use it. We moved and in the end all worked out since we would not have had good light at the Subway. Anyway, this is my one shot in the small number of frames I grabbed here.
