October Trip 2012 Pt 1
Taking up to a week off to go exploring around Southern Utah and beyond has been an annual fall tradition of mine since around 2002. Just got back and this years trip was another great one.
Some of my images from just the first evening at White Pocket.

Fall Landscapes 2012
Not since my Pentax Zx5n would still eat film have I been out to look for Fall colors. Finally spent a short evening after work to at least see what I might find before yet another season was over.

Book Cliffs: light and storm
The drive home from Southern Utah along an otherwise tedious stretch of two lane is often spiced up by inspiring views of the Book Cliffs.

Labor Day Weekend 2012
Another trip to the Arizona Strip brought with it a bunch of scenic distractions. Here are a few early favorite photos for now to keep me motivated to eventually get caught up.
The Wave and surrounding environs was prominent on the to do list for this trip.
I've got many photos to go through and there look to be some promising ones in there.
I liked the composition on this one with Randy adjusting his tripod for a reflection shot,
and our soon to be new acquaintance from Germany frozen taking a step.
But not before passing through a storm or getting a Jeep out of some quicksand.
A visit to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon was also on our agenda.
My "vision of Vishnu" Temple is a definite favorite so far.
Challenged but this was my first experience with the sunburst effect first thing Labor Day morning.
Now catching up will be hard to do while I hope to be elbow deep rebuilding a Jeep engine. But there will eventually be much more to come from this trip.
A big thanks to my friend Randy for an invite to use an extra permit and open passenger seat. His "adventr" blog can be seen here. He will have a full trip report of this adventure posted there by about this weekend no doubt.

Timp Meadow, Film Favorite to Digital Delight
The Wasatch Mountains are the most common scenic distraction for me by far over the years.
On the left, a snapshot envisioned while hiking back from the summit of Mt Timpanogos, and then almost carefully composed after retracing a few steps and taking a few steps off the trail (I still wish the whole shelter were included). Taken some time in the mid 1990's, captured on an Olympus Infinity Jr 35mm point n shoot with Kodak Gold film no doubt. A shoe box favorite ever since getting the prints back, often residing in a frame on a desk or dresser, and blown up large on the wall.
On the right, a re-shoot just about the same time of the season, late in the evening while en route to the summit (eventually), captured on July 2010 with my Olympus E-510 DSLR and 12-60mm zoom lens.
