브라이스 캐니언, 유타
저는 겨울 빛의 움직임을 연구하기 위해 영하의 기온 속에서 이틀 동안 캐니언으로 하이킹을 들어가 캠핑을 했습니다. 눈 덮인 산봉우리와 브라이스 캐니언의 붉은 바위 지형이 만들어내는 놀라운 대비는 멋진 이미지를 담을 기회를 제공했습니다. 석양이 따뜻한 저녁 빛을 반사하면서, 산에 반사된 빛이 불타는 듯한 광채를 만들어내어 캐니언을 특이한 빛으로 물들였습니다.
The contrast between those fiery red hoodoos and the deep winter snow is absolutely unreal, exactly what I was hoping to capture. Photographed the canyon at dawn when the light hit the snowy caps just right, and the depth in every frame is stunning.
I spent a week studying the snow-dusted hoodoos at sunrise, and the color saturation in the shots I got is unreal—the pink and orange just pop against the white caps. The detail on the rock layers is sharp even in low light, which made the winter conditions worth every numb finger.
The canyon’s winter palette is exactly what I needed to visualize the scene — the snow-capped peaks against the frosty rock layers come through with real depth. I’ve stared at this for a week straight and still notice new shadows every time.
