After a disappointing couple of days in Bryce Canyon, I moved on to my next location which was to be Kodachrome Basin National Park, which is located between Bryce Canyon and the Grand Staircase Escalante Region of Utah. I found a great site in the primitive campground at the back of the park, I think I like this campground better than the front campground because of the dirt road leading in to it. This prevents most RV's from attempting access and is a much more serene environment, although the front campground has free showers but they can be used by all visitors, so I seized the opportunity. :)

This is the Bryce View Campground and is named so because its view overlooks not just Kodachrome Basin but also Bryce Canyon, which can be seen here off in the distance with a spectacular sunset in progress. Wouldn't you know it, the day I leave Bryce the sky explodes over it. Bah!! I guess a fourth trip to Bryce is on the itinerary in the future. "If at first you don't succeed try try again" is what I was taught. :)

I found this tree just off of the dirt road that leads back to some of the more remote formations in the park. It sits perched atop a red stone formation and stands only waist high. I tried to get a POV and composition that portrayed this tree as much bigger and an alternate composition capitalizing on it's stunted nature. I ended up liking this one better.

I am considering this to be an FDR image "Full Dynamic Range." Not an HDR image. HDR is usually associated with software designed specifically for that purpose. The problem with these software solutions is that by the time you get something you like, they introduce strong haloing properties and unpleasant artifacts which give it a fake unnatural look. By blending exposures manually you control what aspects of each exposure will be included in your final result, leading ultimately to a "Full Dynamic Range" image. Maybe we can start differentiating the two different types of processes. Have you ever had someone ask "Is it HDR" I like being able to say "NO", then again, if they have to ask then I'm getting close to real looking FDR photos.

Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day everybody!! :)

Some kind of fluffy topping to these trees lit up a treat in the dawn light.

This little Fox Sparrow was singing for its mate near St.John's, NL, Canada.

If I look closely I do have colors 💚❄💚❄

This towering, neighborhood tree stands on a vacant lot dwarfing the other trees around it. I often wonder what stories it could tell and how it came to dominate the horizon, defying storms and the sawblade. It has a covering of new leaves now, which gives me hope that my country and our democracy will endure through this time of "Trumpian" darkness.

Ouverture aujourd'hui de mon nouveau site Blost

Looking over to the other side of Randsfjorden, steep trail downward, loving the nice view up here 🙏

This tree went down in a summer storm a few years ago. Now it looks like a tree man standing out in our field. Especially in a snow storm like the one we had yesterday.

Getting this type of perspective might be challenging as it requires a longer focal length to get a compression effect.

The sky was blue and the leaves green intense, but I decided to turn it into my black and white.

We got walloped with a huge snow storm and a foot of snow a few days ago - even the birds were taking shelter!

Trees.

Just two trees seemingly on their own sitting on the hillside . I stumbled across these and I just love trees so wanted to grab a capture albeit in the misty rain. This was when we hiked through the mountains in Glencoe.

PS: Away now travelling for the next few days to Phoenix so wont be online much but will try catch up as and when I can my flickr friends.

The moor lake reflecting the autumnal trees around. This lake has something mystical to me..
