Salome Creek

Here are the best so far from my shots of Salome Creek. Dad will have to post his once he has the time to go through them all.

The stars from near our tent at the bottom of the canyon. The rocks were lit with a headlamp. 25 minute exposure.

Both of us about half way down the canyon about to jump in the water in one of the narrows.

HDR of 5 images.

Looking down the canyon with a few hikers, I like how having the people adds to the scale of the canyon.

We waited at this location for a couple of hours until it was in the shade and the sun was reflecting off of the opposite wall. I think it was well worth the wait.

The main event, last time I went we carried rappelling gear for the short cliff, this time we jumped. It was pretty fun.

This is standing in the same location as above, just looking down the canyon. I like the reflection of the cliff on the water.

This is by far my favorite shot. Just a stones through away from the image above, we again waited for the sunlight to be right for the reflection and the shade.

This is a close second for favorite shot of the day. I love the bright cliff in contrast with the dark narrow canyon.

  1. The stone and water make the most amazing elementary combination that is hard to explain except if you are there or have such a good representation. Nice work Mikleangel. Looking forward to PZs masterwerkes after seeing the one of him shooting from the water's surface.
