To love beauty is to see light… - a photo on Flickriver

To love beauty is to see light…

- Victor Hugo.

|| insta || blog || photostream ||

I visited the Towers of the Virgin viewpoint twice during our recent visit to Zion National Park. I couldn't get any direct light on the cliffs on both days because of the cloud cover. However, I noticed another mountain peak on the other side that got a gentle, warm glow. On the second day, I had better luck, and the peak lit up with beautiful morning light a little after sunrise. Although the peak looked magnificent, finding a clean foreground was challenging. As the area was restricted access, I didn't have the option to get close to a bush or cactus and use it as a foreground interest. Therefore, I decided to keep my distance, use a more normal focal length, and rely on compression to reduce the patchy foreground vegetation. I loved the result.
