Shot from above, this landscape provides a series of images that defy description. From ground level, these badlands look rather pedestrian. Enjoy. These images can be purchased as prints or wall art at. Dawn2Dawn Photography

Rain, Fog, Clouds and a Photo Tip from Zion National Park.

While driving through Zion NP the other day, rain clouds and fog persisted. Which always gives Zion a more ghostly and sublime look.

Photo Tip: All of these images were produced with my Apple iPhone 14 Pro. Go to settings in the phone so you can select the ability to shoot in RAW format. The RAW format button will show on your screen and you just click on it to shoot in RAW. RAW images have more pixels allowing you to make larger photos at higher resolutions. You can also make bigger shifts while editing the photo without producing unwanted noise or pixelation. I only shoot in RAW if I know I have a really good photo opp.

This big West Coast storm was forecasted to hit Northern Arizona as well with snow forecasted. On the first day, the weather was too warm for snow but it did rain and I was able to capture these images. As a heads up, it did snow today and more is forecasted for tomorrow so stay tuned.

A Rainy And Foggy Day During Colorado’s Autumn

I almost stayed home because of the rain but remembered that rain and fog can produce some promising images. I ran into rain, snow and fog at Grand Mesa National Forest. Grand Mesa is the largest flat-top mountain in the world near Grand Junction.
