Zion in the Spring

My husband and I were blessed to be able to visit Zion National Park during the Spring season.  I was expecting warmer weather, but we were met with a little bit of snow and ice.  It was an amazing trip.  The snow and fog and clouds made for interesting photography.  Several of these photos are new, never been published.  Yes, I'm still playing catch up! 

 

 

Desert Photography

My husband and I took a trip to Sedona, Arizona a couple weeks ago.  Except for the hiking required to get these beautiful shots, I was in heaven!  This little valley surrounded by red mountains is one of the most beautiful places in the world.  The last day we were there, we woke up to snow covered mountains and big snowflakes out our window. 

This photo actually taken over looking Phoenix.

The following photo was created using HDR (High Dynamic Range), which is when you merge 2 or more exposures of the same picture to capture detail that your eye can see but the camera loses during exposure.  This one was done with 3 different exposures.

This one also done with 3 exposures.
