"Sunset Fall"
Bryce Canyon, Utah, USA

Bryce Canyon always sports a surprise, and this particular visit in November was not an exception. I expected the fall leaves to have already disappeared, but to my good fortune they were still out in force. I captured this sunrise just below the rim at Sunset Point. Processed with three images in Photomatix and Lightroom, then converted to a digital paint scene via Topaz Adjust in Photoshop.

"Midnight Sand"
Little Sahara, Utah, USA
0312-1-5167
Although I label this one "midnight sand," the photo was taken about 5:00AM. The moon was out in its glory, providing some nice foreground effects, in addition to some backlighting from "light pollution" from the Utah County. Captured during a wonderful and *cold* winter night.
Although I normally capture HDRs, this is a single-shot, tripod-mounted image. Processed in Lightroom 3 and Topaz Adjust in Photoshop.

Throughout the trip to the Turks and Caicos I had difficulty finding "stunning" sunsets. So on the final morning on Provo, I decided to rise early to try and capture the sunrise. What a blessing it was to experience such a serene moment! To read more about the experience, visit my photo blog.
This scene is captured on Provo's southeast shore, called Long Bay. The water is quite shallow, and in fact you can walk out to see about a 1/4 mile or so, and the water will only be about chest-depth.
This is a three-shot, tripod-mounted HDR image. Processed in Photomatix Pro and Lightroom.
