tozo has given some great advice above. In short, you need to be able to allow as much light onto your camera's sensor as possible, whilst still taking care not to under or overexpose parts of the image. To do that you'll need to consider all or some of the below: - Get away from the light...

142 miles on the Kokopelli Trail from Fruita, CO to Moab. I really enjoyed this one, struck quite a personal chord regarding my current work/life situation; "The part of my life when I was happiest was the part when I was poorest..." "Getting active and outside is healthier for my brain than...

Fantastic pics, and I share the views and frustrations of most others in this thread. I've been to Supai once in June 2014. It was beautiful and also a zoo at the same time. Had a real "spring break" feel to it. I went as far as Beaver Falls but really really regret not going as far as the...

Heart Lake - John Muir Wilderness, CA

Don't get caught under one of these while out hiking in the mountains :eek:

That final shot from Dante's View is insane. It always intrigued me how the biggest dangers in the desert are such polar opposites: extreme heat and flash flooding.

Sounds like the puddle that stopped me. Was very tempted to try it but being solo and in a rental, I eventually thought better of it :( I would have given it a shot had it been my own car...

Road closed as per 10/22; http://www.nps.gov/glca/learn/news/road-conditions.htm Long, deep stretches of standing water around the 30 mile mark when I was there two weeks back. Foiled in my attempts to cross of CG yet again!

Deer Creek, along the Burr Trail

The Box, Escalante. Wasn't really sure what to expect from this hike but it was beautiful :thumbsup:

Locket Meadow, near Flagstaff - 10/5. Overcast day and possibly a week or so early for peak. Boulder Mountain - 10/9. Again, possibly a touch early for peak color.

Bit of a n00b at this, but here's a couple from last week. No chance for me to try this at home due to the light pollution :( All taken with Sony A6000 and Rokinon 12mm F2 lens. Red Canyon, between Bryce and Panguitch: Temple Mountain, San Rafael Swell: Valley of the Gods:

I was in Escalante for a few days last week. As Nick says, it's still a little early for the cottonwoods but the Aspens on Boulder Mountain were looking mighty fine. I'll try to post a few pics if this rubbish hotel wifi will cooperate...

I'm planning to hike Water Canyon and Canaan Mountain on Monday (although the forecast looks like it may not co-operate). I presume access is OK by now after this incident? Anyone know anything about the condition of the road?

I believe it was the lowest snow year on record in the Sierra Nevada, however water still seemed to be plentiful. I think the longest stretch I went without passing a water source was about 4 miles. There was also some unseasonal snow and rain in early July, about a week before I was there...

July 14th - 18th 2015. Glacier Point, Yosemite to Red's Meadow. Total distance approx. 65 miles. Inspired by @ZubenElGenubi's Thousand Island Lake trip report, I thought i'd contribute my first real trip report to BCP. I've wanted to hike the JMT for a few years now but getting the time off...

Great report and awesome pics! I was there in mid-July as part of my JMT section hike, Glacier Point in Yosemite to Red's Meadow. That's such a beautiful area....

Currently 8 dead, 5 missing apparently: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/09/15/at-least-6-dead-7-missing-in-utah-as-wall-of-water-engulfs-cars-in-flash-flooding/ Sounds like they had gone to watch the flood moving through and ended up becoming victims. Very sad news. I'm...

Beautiful pics and report! I too am in love with the Eastern Sierra. I did 70 miles on the JMT in July and I gotta get back asap!

Here in the UK about a year or so ago, the BBC aired a pretty cool 2 hour documentary on running the GC in Dories identical to Powell's. Did you guys get that in the US at all? Trailer here; Not sure if there's anywhere you can view the 2x one hour episodes online. I have them both on my PC...
