The final day of five I spent in Zion NP finally had some decent skies. The others were bright clear sunny days which are still good for making images on the shady side. But, for the 'grand landscape', some sky is helpful. I made this in-between rain spells, which I was thoroughly enjoying. A three image pano from the Canon 17mm ts-e, shifted.
Very nice Jeffrey. The pano stitch with the 17 really makes the sweeping landscaping really dramatic with the clouds! I was at Zion a few weeks ago and I also had only 1 day of clouds on the last day as well!

Man that is sweet. I left before the clouds showed up and was standing someplace in that scene one afternoon. But like you say, hard to do this scene in bright sunlight.

You've put the 17mm to great use on this one. I'm glad you were able to get a shot that showcases the storm, fall color, and those magnificent cliffs. It's a far more difficult task than many people might think.
It was great bumping into you on my last day there. My annual trip to Zion isn't complete without finding you and your big rig. :-) BTW, my film has been developed, but I won't be able to pick it up until this monday. I have my fingers crossed.

I've spent enough time with this image to decide to rework it. I may have mashed a lot of pixels here, and I hope it doesn't show, but I think it's a better version. The 36" print is slowly coming out of my printer as I post.
