p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Zion morning. Watchman from the bridge (again)


Early morning of Watchman from the junction bridge. It flash flooded all night before, but settled down, by morning. The narrows was closed though.

I know the clouds are a little blown, but I was really stupid and had the camera set earlier for jpeg only for something else, and didn't notice until a little later

Nicely done!! Yes, it's an iconic location and interpretations/takes on this spot can be all over the place, but this one worked out very well!!

Hey Kelly,

That is pretty nice looking, you have some yellow in the leaves.

As for Jpg? Never take your camera off of Raw, it's not worth forgetting.

Nice, really like the brilliance in some of the greens, and magenta tones in the distant mtns.

Not many people here at dawn, but this can be a great sunrise location. You got some nice conditions with the tree color, clouds and light on the Watchman. I have been there in November though and the sun angle was such as to not light up the Watchman in the morning. But just in case, I will try again in a couple weeks. Hopefully the trees will still have color.

This is so beautiful, you captured very well the scene.

Zion is my favorite part of this planet.

Thanks everyone.

Sometimes I have to shoot drama productions, or sports for my school; hundreds of pics, so I shoot jpeg only for these. This time I forgot to switch back to RAW. Stupid.

Hey Kelly,

Years ago with my first few DSLRs, I would tend to forget to change the ISO back from higher ISO from night shooting, and I would end up shooting at ISO 3200 when I should have been shooting ISO 200 or so. It was a dumb mistake, but it kept biting me in the butt. So to help me cure that, I made a small label that said "Check ISO" and stuck it on the back of the camera where I wouldn't miss it. It was awesome, and I stopped forgetting to change my ISO back. Maybe you should do something similar? Something that will remind you to check if you are shooting in Raw or Jpg.

Just an idea.

Jim

Instead of a "check ISO" label, I have another approach that at least works for me. I have a default camera setting. I know every setting on my camera at all times. When, if, I change a setting...ISO, eV, aperture...I require that I remember the changes and any subsequent changes. Once I complete a shooting session, I reset the camera to my defaults.

Good ideas Jim and Camper Jim. ISO has also got me before.
