Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken near Jacob Hamblin Arch in Coyote Gulch, a tributary of the Escalante River in Utah.

Time

I took the photo in the morning about 10:00 am, while backpacking in the canyon.

Lighting

The deep canyons of the Colorado Plateau in Utah filter the light, tinting everything reddish and allowing little direct light to reach the canyon bottom. This creates a beautiful, soft light in the canyon bottoms.

Equipment

I used a Voigtlander 12mm lens mounted on a Canon EOS M mirrorless camera. The photo was taken handheld.

Inspiration

The high, overhanging cliffs at this bend in the canyon formed a huge alcove, several hundred feet high, that blotted out most of the sky. It is a stunning place and an irresistible photographic subject.

Editing

The photo was converted to black and white and adjusted for contrast in PhotoShop.

In my camera bag

I have fallen in love the past couple of years with mirrorless cameras. Although I also use a Nikon D800E DSLR, when weight is an issue (such as while backpacking), I generally use a Canon EOS M or a Sony NEX 6 camera.

Feedback

The Canyonlands region of Southeastern Utah is a photographer's dream. The bizarre landforms,colorful, and carved from solid stone through the action of water, wind, and ice, are simply overwhelming. There's not another landscape like it on the planet. For the canyons themselves, bring the widest wide-angle lens you own!
