Desert world by maggiemae

Desert world

Leaving the Grand Canyon behind smothered in cloud - not a good photograph… and headed out into a moonscape of Mesa’s and Buttes. This was a scene just as we entered the tourist scene in Page, Utah, near Lake Powell
Three good things:
1.Saw several deer in the National Park, two of which/whom had huge antlers
2. Didn’t see any rattlesnakes in the ancient Indian ruins of Tusayan.
3. Finally got a room in a town poised on a huge valley where Lake Powell extended down so many canyons.
So pretty. I need to see it someday!!!

@grammyn The clouds are always pretty in this vast sky and if there is any grey or black in them - beware of the lightning!
July 26th, 2017  
That is just an amazing landscape. Great shot.

Hi Maggie, We are doing an 11day tour of the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Bryce canyon, Zion NP, Canyonlands NP etc in Sep/Oct. Any tips on photography?
July 27th, 2017  
What a gorgeous view! The tones and layers in this shot are amazing. Fav!
July 27th, 2017  
Out-of-this-world fabulous. Fav

@terryliv You will be entranced Poppo! The mountains, mesa's and buttes are so original and unique - history and geography in one. I'd allow enough light to get into the shadows to see form - like about F8, then ISO 100 and exposure 100 to 250.
July 27th, 2017  
cool fav
July 27th, 2017  
Magnificent!! I enjoyed viewing this shot for a long time...

@happysnaps Thats a very nice comment to make, thank you, Valerie!
July 27th, 2017  
@maggiemae Thanks Maggie. I have a graduated ND8 filter which I expected to use regularly to stop the sky from blowing out. Sounds like a plan?
July 27th, 2017  
Wonderful scenery FAV
July 27th, 2017  
Wow - such interesting land forms.
July 27th, 2017  
Beautiful
July 27th, 2017  
Wonderful image
July 27th, 2017  
@terryliv If the sky is bright,that filter would be necessary! I was lucky with a cloudy sky - I only have bridge camera!
July 27th, 2017  
I think it's gorgeous. I would love to go back to the Grand Canyon some day- now that I have a better camera to photograph it.
July 28th, 2017  
Gorgeous composition, clouds and color! This area of the country is quite spectacular.
