Ekker butte 3

[Ben Egbert]

This is the third image I have for Ekker Butte in the Maze district of Canyonlands. I was spending too much time with Timelapse and did not do a great job of capturing stills on this trip. I need to remember why I am there.

CC welcome

Nice view of that Butte and some good clouds for your shot.

Wow Ben! This is a keeper!!!

Timelapses can get involving, especially at the time of day when the exposure is changing. With my D850 and D810 which have exposure smoothing, I have been experimenting going to spot meeting with the spot up in the sky. To me the sky is what I want my exposure to revolve around. I might try center weighted metering too. So far I like the results.

Nice one Ben. Nice view highlighted by the warm late evening light with the clouds added for good measure.

Is that a shadow of a person on the wall?

Thanks Jim. I also meter on the sky. But I don't have exposure smoothing in Time Interval. My real issue is more that my attention is split and I am using my primary camera for TL when I should be moving around with it for stills.

Nice one Ben. Nice view highlighted by the warm late evening light with the clouds added for good measure.

Thanks Jameel. no that is not a persons shadow.
