Hi all.

I made a quick trip to Southern Utah last week, the land is vast, and expansive with many unusual geographical formations. This shot was taken at Factory Butte, even though I have seen many photos, I was still awe-struck by the sheer size of it. Driving around the region was a bit challenging given all the rains, many roads washed out.

Thanks to Ben, Jim, Craig, Monika, & Jameel for the tips, super helpful.

A great mood and tones in this Oliver.

That's great that you were able to get to Factory Butte, it is one really awesome piece of rock.

Bob, thanks. I took my 100-400mm with me, my Toyota RAV4 didn't get me very close.

Jim, thanks, I parked my car by the roadside and watched how the sun lit up different ridges and slopes, the monsoonal clouds cast interesting shades too.

Never seen a composition like this, very nice to get those small features like this.

Ben, I took many "close-up" shots of the formation, trying to come up with different perspectives.

Nice take on the heavily eroded talus slopes below the butte. Much more interesting than the usual portrait of the butte.

Alan, thanks, I learned a new word today. The butte is still changing shape with every thunderstorm or rain, next time I go there, it's different probably.
