It was a week ago today that I arrived home from a week of shooting in Southern Utah.\u00a0 As wonderful as California is with its beaches, mountains and deserts, Utah has to be one of the most exciting places on earth.\u00a0 The air is clear and the vistas, breathtaking.\u00a0 I remember the first experience with the Grand Staircase part of Utah when I was much younger thinking this was the real West, the likes of which you saw in early Westerns.\u00a0 And for good reason as a lot of early Westerns were shot in Utah.<\/p>\n
So the week of shooting in Utah started with the sixth annual Digital Summit conducted by Alain Briot and Uwe Steinmueller.\u00a0 The guest photographer this year was Tony Sweet.\u00a0 It ran from Friday evening to Monday evening and was held in Bryce Canyon National Park.\u00a0 The remaining days were with Alain and Natilie in which we toured and photographed Escalante Grand Staircase all the way from Bryce to Capital Reef and ending up in Hanksville.<\/p>\n
The weather was all a photographer could ask for with some inspirational sunrises and sunsets.\u00a0 The sunrises at Bryce were really cold.\u00a0 One morning ice formed on my camera.\u00a0 Yep.\u00a0 That was a first.\u00a0 Fortunately my 1Ds Mark III is weather sealed and didn’t miss a shot.<\/p>\n
Now I have a good number of ‘keepers’ that will keep me busy for the rest of this year and probably into\u00a0next year.\u00a0 Add to that the keepers from Death Valley two weeks prior and I’ve got a lot of PhotoShopping ahead of me – not a bad prospect at all.<\/p>\n
So stay tuned.\u00a0 The photographs are on the way.<\/p>\n
