Description This is another one form Zion National Park

I felt really stupid because I brought my tripod with me but I forgot the screw that attaches my camera to the tripod at home so basically it was useless especially when we went to Antelope Canyon.

But never the less, I used rocks as tripods and in this photo an old tree stump

Great technology I know

I edited this because the colors were a little more than lacking

i always keep the tripod plate on my tripod, and a spare in my camera bag. So if by chance i forget it, i always have a spare close by.

I'm heading to this area this coming winter for some snowy photos! I'm so excited!

The sad thing is I only have one tripod plate I make sure to check for one every time I leave the house though!

Oh wow! That sounds amazing! I can not wait to see the photos already!

depending on your tripod (especially if its a manfroto) you can pick up another one for very cheap at a camera store.

I know! Me too!!! lol

Wow, thats mind blowing amazing! While we are at it we should also tell them about the leaf filters they used for green tones and maybe even the dark blood red ones (I wonder where they got that...) for infared! Oh the knowladge. Do you think they took any photos of dinosaurs!? (haha jk.)

Sorry about the tripod! I've done that - mine has a boot that attaches to the camera and I've taken it off before, making the tripod useless!
These shots are beautiful!

Your fortunate to visit such a setting.
Good selection on the long exposure.
However, I believe the you could adjust the sliders on the reds and boost up the saturation in that area.

Thank you for that advice, now that i look at it it does look dull and kind of takes away from the photo Looking at yours/ your dads photos I see that you guys visited not that long ago! How did you like it?

Hey there, I hope all is well with you.
Yes Yes, Zion is an incredible place huh? We enjoyed it.
I was in the same situation as you concerning the tripod. You didn't have yours, my tripod mount stripped.
That kinda stuff happens with young photographers like us.

Yeah, I was beating my self up about it. I really wish that I could of gone to the hike up to Angels Landing. The view from there must have been spectacular. I'm going to Kauai soon, and I really want to take a helicopter tour but it costs so much now!

Angel's Landing is absolutely insane, walking on the edges of thousand foot cliffs.
Are you really? I was there last summer, it'll be a good idea to take a helicopter tour for pictures.
Good luck & Safe travels.

I did the same thing when I was in Yellowstone last year, setting out to take pictures of the sunrise. This picture came out way better than mine did, I love the color contrast between the rocks and the trees.
