Hi Everyone,
I am late to the Utah Photography workshop image posts, so here goes - first images from Capitol Reef National Park in Utah!! Both formations are right beside the visitors center at Capitol Reef. I think the gods of light were smiling on me with this first image. I cannot believe the air clarity and blues in the skies in this part of Utah. Evidently it's billed as the cleanest air in the US = visibility sometimes over 100 miles.
Rim Overlook:
The Castle:
These images have all been upped in resolution from 10.1MP to 25.3MP. This will translate into 6114 x 4113 pixels. IMHO, these images cannot do the real subjects any justice - this is but a shadow of the real thing. It's my hope the park folks will like them enough at 16 x 24 or 24x36 in print as a donation...
Everyone in the workshop was kind enough to offer to pitch in for the printing/framing costs if the park accepts them!!
I am very pleased that at the request of the digital image librarian (a Park Ranger), several of my images taken at Capitol Reef will become part of the Capitol Reef National Park image library (with usage restrictions). I sincerely hope you enjoy these images.
Regards,
Marc
