Doing a landscape justice

Capturing the grandeur of a large landscape scene can be one of the hardest challenges. Far too often the magnificence is lost when rendered on a small two-dimensional plane. A lifetime is spent in search of ideal conditions along with beautiful light that might create the illusion of a three-dimensional space. This clearing storm in Zion National Park of southern Utah was just such an opportunity. I refer to it sometimes as the attempt to do a landscape justice. When the conditions are right, everything has to be done correctly in what can be a brief period. Over the decades, I’ve missed far more opportunities than I’ve been successful at. It’s the nature of the game and the learning process.
