Congratulations to Ross Martin for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 7 votes - View Previous Winners


From my roamings about various southern Utah canyons, badlands, quiet trails, and scenic roads a few months back.

On the starry sky shot above cliffs at Zion, I made this shot just before the moon rose and loved the ethereal glow that gave, and the lights from the nearby town of Springdale provided just the right light for the cliffs (single exposure).

For most of these I had solitude, away from crowds, which for me enhances the experience of being there and the concentration on making compositions. I did have a brief visitor for the starry night shot when I was startled by a fox trotting by not far from my tripod.




A sublime place for day’s end






Swept into the beauty






Nature’s canyon wall art






Mezmerizing badlands






Mesa layers at dusk






Forests of Cedar Breaks






Sandstone satisfaction






Fiery sunset light






Just before moonrise






A fine place to grow

Nice collection Ross! The Cedar Breaks is my favorite - I like the light and colors; green and orange is almost always a great combination...
