Monarch Cave
The Anasazi could create beauty in the most unusual places!
Dawn patrol; winding my way through the canyon bottom on one of the tributaries of Comb Ridge, shielded from direct sunlight by a spring cloud pattern to the East. Seeking the best vantage point for photography while enjoying lights soft, diffracted presence through the clouds.
The climb from the canyon bottom up along the sloping canyon walls presented no danger. Investigation of the best shot point occupied several minutes. Then, as I began to home in on the final point, the morning Sun, which had been softly reflecting from the ruin and canyon walls, suddenly strengthened.
Feet dangling off the cliff edge, a stabilizing tripod let me do a panoramic high dynamic range HDR 3EV capture of Monarch Cave.
The digital darkroom challenge; attaining a light balance between departing shadow and incoming light before the entire scene was subject to day's harsh glare...
Again, the beauty of being able to go where you want to go, when you want to go suits to photographer's deepest need. Find the light, find the sight (site), and shoot to your hearts content...
