p.1 #1 · Deep Echo (Echo Canyon, Zion)

Echo Slot Canyon in Zion overwhelmed me with the rich red colors, deep pools, moss-covered walls, curved sandstone textures and overall stunning beauty. This narrow section was my favorite!

To capture the whole picture without distortion, I used the 17mm tilt-shift lens and then stitched 6 images together. This accurately shows the real claustrophobic dimensions of the slot canyon.

That's impressive. Like the contrast between green and red, the reflections and the depth.

Very nice imaging, Gordon. I can't say I know where this spot is in Zion.

Hey Gordon,

How sweet! I really like this view. Boy... 6 TSE shots stitched? Wow... very impressive. I hope to get a TSE lens one day, but sheesh, I can't imagine using it in here, good work.

It's great if I can stump the expert!

If you want to go, I'm happy to PM you with the location. I suspect you've walked by here before and not known it.

Thanks Jim,

I did not have to get wet to get this shot. If I were in that deep, I wouldn't have my TSE either.

Very nice...Very nice...Very nice...

I think I would like to visit 'Echo' Canyon. Lovely shot, Gordon. Really like the depth you captured.

Cheers,
