The Watchman

[Ben Egbert]

This is a different take on the Watchman. This was taken at sunrise rather than sunset. Not another soul. It was taken at the end of March so the trees are bare, but I like the way the light more evenly displays the scene.

Nice one Ben. Love the light.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Beautiful. I love the soft light in the valley.

Interesting light - I almost like this better than the typical sunsets from the bridge. No mob scene makes the morning seem even better.

 

[Kyle Jones]

Nice Ben. I've had good luck in the morning as well. Not fighting crowds is a definite plus.

 

[MonikaC]

Really nice, soft, warm light Ben.

 

[John Holbrook]

Very nice image.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Very nice Ben. I have never shot this at sunrise - mostly because I didn't have this kind of light and clouds to work with.

The light was great.

Beautiful. I love the soft light in the valley.

I did not know what to expect beforehand, but I was glad I was there.

The lack of a mob is a real game changer for me.

Nice Ben. I've had good luck in the morning as well. Not fighting crowds is a definite plus.

Right Kyle, the last time there I did not get this light, I think time of year is really critical for this scene.

Really nice, soft, warm light Ben.

Thanks Monica, the light was just about perfect.

Very nice image.

Thanks John.

Thanks Jameel, I am not sure the light gets into the canyon at other times of year, the last time I was there (probably fall) it did not.

Love it Ben! Sometimes shooting at a different time then normal can yield great results.

Jim, thanks for featured post

 

[Douglas Sherman]

That is very nice, Ben. You just gave me the idea of going there in early spring just after the cottonwoods leaf out to get that early chlorophyll 1 light green look. I'll bet it is just as pretty as the fall yellow. You're very deserving of the Daily Featured Photo.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Thanks Douglas. Yours is a great idea. I would consult the photographers ephemeris to make sure there will be light in the canyon

 

[Jon Buffington]

Very well done! Fantastic!

One of my favorite views yet I haven't ever stood here. Maybe one day! Great Capture, congratulations on the feature!

Thanks Alisia, last I heard the bridge area was closed for some construction. But there are many places to view it from.
