Zion has many grand landscapes but during my recent workshop there, we concentrated on limiting the field of view to capture compositions of smaller scenes. This small waterfall above was just 30 yards from the main road and contained graceful curves and nice colors.

A small section from another stream within the canyons of Zion produced this mosaic below of color from the rocks in the stream and the sky.

In that same section of canyon, the shadow of tree limbs silhouette against a lichen covered rock.

In the town of Springdale, UT at the entrance to Zion, there are a number of roadside stores that sell all kinds of rocks. Many are very colorful and another workshop participant, Jennifer King, introduced me to the fun of shooting these rocks.  They have great color!  Jennifer is a very talented photographer, you can see her work at www.jenniferkingphoto.com.
