Canyonlands National Park

Last summer I visited Canyonlands National Park in Utah. I was in the Needles area of the park where I took this shot just before sunset. My camera was my Nikon D700, a wonderful DSLR, which produces very sharp images, even though it is only 12 megapixels. It is also known for its extraordinary noise reduction in dim light.  This is a typical evening view of this area, always displaying beautiful warm colors in the landscape. I find I like to do my shooting late in the evening or early in the morning, although the light is cooler early in the day. I learned that the purest colors can be observed at these times of the day. If shooting during mid-day light, it is best to shoot in the shadows. In bright sunlight, colors are washed out, and pictures taken in this kind of light do not hold one's interest.
