Better remain silent, better not even think, if you are not prepared to act…

During our last two visits to Bryce Canyon National Park, I used my standard zoom lens for about 80% of my photos and an ultra-wide angle lens for the rest. On our first trip, my standard lens had a 24-70mm focal length, while on our recent visit, I changed it to a 24-120mm lens with access to telephoto focal lengths. As I reviewed and edited the images from the trip, I noticed that I had captured many shots at 80mm and above, particularly when taking panorama shots.

The photo I'm sharing today was taken while returning from a hike on the Navajo Trail. The trail was steep, so I took a break every few steps and experimented with different compositions. Although it was past sunrise, the lighting was still soft, and the hoodoo formations created plenty of contrast and depth. I decided to take a telephoto panorama shot of this series of hoodoos in the middle of the frame, as they had similar colors and were framed beautifully by the brightly lit hoodoos on the left and the shadows on the right.

At the time, I wasn't sure if tight panoramas like this would work, but I was encouraged by the results. Next time I hike the Navajo Trail, I plan to take my 100-400mm lens.
