Bryce Canyon Cave

I had fun with this one.

Originally when I stitched this one together it was on a 45 degree angle. As you have seen from some of my past posts you can get some quite interesting stitches at times. Since I didn't want the leave the photo on a 45 degree angle I spend time going through various apps trying to straighten it without luck. Most of the time the app wanted to cut the top and bottom off the photo which made it totally lose its effect. Finally Juxaposter works. With that app I was able to move and scale the stitched image. I placed it on the textured background of a photo I took on the same hike. Yes, the colors on the limestone walls were really brilliant in some areas.

I finished the processing in Filterstorm adding a layer so I could bring the same texture and color to the sky.

What a wonderful hike I had among the hoodoo's that afternoon.

Many Faces of Bryce National Park

When I first arrived in the park, I noticed these contrasting blackened tree trucks  among the snow. I have always wanted to try and capture a slow shutter pan of this type of scene. I captured this photograph with the SlowShutter camera and processed it with Filterstorm and PhotoForge.
Bryce National Park, Utah - Sunset Viewpoint

This image was captured using the ProHDR camera. Stitched together with Autostitch and then iPainted in PhotoForge. The  iPainted version was blended with the original at 25% using Iris.

What an incredible National Park! So wonderful that the clouds came in. I went to all the viewpoint pull offs today in the park. What an amazing landscape. The hoodoos were crumbling as I walked the path into the canyon. Just had a wonderful day. 

Thor's Hammer

There was quite a bit of snow still on the trail to the canyon. It was also muddy and wet with a stream flowing down the center of it at times. Felt so good to be among the giants in complete silence.
