p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Utah Badlands


just got my new to me A7r and some lenses. This was taken with the Nikkor 70-210mm lens.
on a side note, and since this affects EVERYONE - Zinke opened up federal land to coal mining. Figured since we all should be stewards of the land (we are photographers, right?), we should be outraged.

anyways, i am planning many trips down here since it doesn't take that long to get down here from SLC.

that is a real haunting shot - and you are correct we need to be stewards of the land - great capture

Good to see new work from you Dustin. I'm also a fellow new-old A7r user haha.

Now that is pretty minimalistic! Nice job here Dustin! If it were mine i'd consider cloning out the bush area on the bottom right near your signature. Feels a bit edge intrusive...

Nice image.

In terms of the outrage, I have mixed feelings. The addition to mining is just a drop in a very big bucket. The bigger issues seem to be population growth, traffic jams, pollution including a heavy petrochemical stench in the whole Salt Lake valley, dune buggies and motor bikes tearing up hundreds of square miles of open land, grazing of cattle on semi-arid grasslands and desert areas that should never be grazed, exploitation of the mountain wilderness for the ski industry, and more. A small addition to coal mining hardly matters after the destruction of huge areas of southwestern Utah with solar and wind farms.

Sorry, but I cannot help but be sad about what is happening in the entire State of Utah. Anyway, I do like your image.

Nice photo, great message. Would love to see more foreground -- I'm assuming it might add some texture and movement to this image.

Nice image. I agree that we should be outraged. And if it's mountaintop coal mining they have planned (I don't know) it's going to hurt A LOT more than a ski slope.
