Location
This photo was taken at Zion National ParkTime
Just before the sun started Setting,Lighting
I was rushing to get out of the park to take the 3 hour drive back to Las Vegas, on my way out i noticed the awesome mix of colours and being in Love with Landscapes, especially the RED rocks, i just had to take a photo, i stopped on the side of the road, jumped out and went to the bridge, there was a lot of people so the only way i could get a shot was to kneel down and take it through the lower and middle barrier.So i kneeled and manual focussed the M9 and snapped 3 shots. Got up and left, not looking at my images until i got homeEquipment

It was my first time in Zion and the Colours and light elements in December just blew me awayEditing

Photography is capturing the Light and Composition You as the Photographer see and visualize at that moment in time, it cannot be replicated, every photographer should strive to put their own stamp on their Landscapes, it's never wrong when it's your interpretation. After all Photography is Art created from the Photographers's perspective, Camera, Technical precision and Post processing plays a part, but it's just the supporting tools. I would suggest you look at other images for ideas, but then go out and infuse it with your passion
