STORY BEHIND THE IMAGE | ||||
|
|
The
Fremont River is the largest stream to cuts through the tall cliffs of
the Waterpocket Fold in Capitol Reef National Park. The main highway
through the park also follows the river and provides easy access. This
small waterfall lies in a canyon with tall cliffs above but is open
to the east. Returning here at sunrise I thought some warm reflected
light might add interest. As the light of sunrise hit the cliffs above,
the stream began to turn a bronze color. The waterfall became
bluish-white however, from the clear sky directly above. Combining cold
and warm tones in the same scene usually has a strong visual effect.
Being able to accomplish that with just one element in the image, the
water, was even better. The exposure here was entirely from reflected
light. After about 10 minutes direct sunlight hit the rocks and the
opportunity was over. This image has been published as a two-page spread in a major book on National Parks and a wrap-around cover for a catalog. Location: Fremont River, Capitol Reef National Park, Utah Technical: Toyo 45 AII field camera with Nikon W 150/5.6 lens and Fuji Velvia film Exposure: 4 sec at f/32
