Despite living in Utah the last 10 years, I had never been to Bryce Canyon National Park. For some reason I had never bothered to make the 2 hour drive to Bryce Canyon from St. George, UT which is where I call home. About 1 1/2 weeks ago was the first time I visited the park.

I was instantly awestruck by the beauty of the park. Although beautiful, the park itself wasn’t easy to shoot from a photography standpoint. I normally shoot wide angle (between 14-16 mm) but on this occasion I had to shoot using my 80-400 mm telephoto lens.

I had to really think abstract! The two pairs of trees shaped like bonsai trees really stuck out as I surveyed the scene. I wanted to incorporate those trees into my composition. Luckily, it was fairly easy as the surrounding landscape has much depth and layers. I’m glad my lens goes out to 400mm. I don’t think shooting this at 200mm would’ve had the same effect.

Equipment Info:
- Nikon D800e
- Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR
- Slik 700 DX tripod

Image info:
- Initial edits in Adobe Lightroom
- Final post-processing in Adobe Photoshop (dodge, burn, orton effect, curves adjustment, sharpen)
