This photograph was taken at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, though it really could be anywhere. On this particular day we purposely walked barefooted through the sand; it was a February morning so it was cold! Why would I do such a thing you might ask, because I try to do something different every day and by doing that I create a memory specific to that day. That said however it helps to photo document everything. There are many ways in which I could have cropped this photograph however it's important to remember the direction of flow; and in this case its flow approached me vertically. So, because the footprints approached ME (a mother) I just had to call this photo "Homeward Bound” ....where you’re always welcome.
The "Wahweap" lookout, is just north and west of Page Arizona and borders the state of Utah. The lake in the background is Lake Powell, a man made reservoir (the Glen Canyon Dam) on the Colorodo River. Its a tourist hot spot that’s famous for its scenic beauty, camping, fishing and house-boating. This is a photo of a freestanding wall at the visitor’s center. I chose to use the wall to frame the distant scene, and kept everything in focus (for those DSLR users; use a large f-stop). IMPORTANTLY, I chose an exposure for the distant mountains, not the wall. Note that this type of shot may be difficult to attain with an older iPhone. That said however, they do tend to pick up more of the shadowed light than a DSLR so give it a try!
