Prospects for Fall.

[Douglas Sherman]

I am getting a bit weary for fall to come. This is a fall image of Canyon de Chelly.

Wow red rock and fall color unbeatable combination

Red rocks and fall leaves on the cottonwoods - a great combination. I like the winding flow of water in the wash as a leading line.

 

[JimFox]

Wow Doug! That looks great. I didn't think there was such great fall colors there.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

That is a beautiful image Doug. A nice SW scene with fall colors and some flowing water. A nice combination of elements.

This place is at its best during the fall, Alan.

This is gorgeous, Doug! I've only been there in Spring -- did a walking tour in the canyon. Kind of funny: my next stop was at Natural Bridges & the ranger I was talking to there was on a 4x4 tour in Canyon de Chelly with another ranger from Natural Bridges & saw me walking on the bottom.

Beautifully handled light and shade. I would have expected harsh highlights and deep shadows but you have managed to produce a gentle image that is still full of interest. I love the hot/ cold color pallette especially the blue river against the warm sand. I am struck by the inverted nature of many US images where the interest goes down from a flat top. Here the interest sticks up from an often lumpy base, this makes golden hour shots easier as the light hits the interest right up until sunset, with canyon photography I would imagine the light fades from the bottom while it is still quite harsh.

It sure is a small world, Monika and even smaller for you because of all of the incredible places you have been. Thanks so much for your kind comments.

Thanks for your kind words, Ken. You are absolutely right about the lighting problems here in the southwest. The best way to solve them is to photograph in soft light like the panorama I have also posted recently of Canyon de Chelly.
