Description

River of Life comes from the Book of Revelation and is what brings life, in this case, to Zion National Park. I first envisioned it while riding my bike along the road early in the morning in Zion. We live about a half-hour away and frequently road our bikes through the park and one morning I noticed how stunning the reflection of the golden cliffs and blue sky were on the river and knew I had to come back in the fall to capture it. Real estate business was slow in 2010 so I was an image consultant for Fatali Gallery in Springdale when I captured this early one very cold November morning. Luckily I had the foresight to wear my canyoneering booties and shoes because it was a chilly 29 degrees when created this. Focus stacking was not an option back then so I used a very slow speed and f/22 to get as much depth as possible. A composite stitch of 4 images was made to get the details. It looks best printed on metal.
