Zion Canyon view from Angel's Landing - Zion National Park, Utah

    Zion large on black

    The Angel's Landing hike has to be right up near the top 10 short hikes in the US. Zion is an unbelievable place. It certainly competes with Yosemite for spectacular rock. What I also love about Zion is the free shuttle bus system. There are two buses parked at the bend and the rest of the valley is free of RVs. Ah. I just wish it could be done in Yosemite too.

    This is an experiment building an HDR from just the one jpeg from a trip through Zion last May. It's clearly not as good as if you set out to do it, but the process did find more detail and color in the shadows and highlights which, I think, improve it overall. Debatable. Feedback appreciated. One of those days where I only wish I had known about HDR.

    For comparison here's a vertical shot of the same Zion - Angel's Landing scene.

      Simply gorgeous. I have been to Zion three times and hope to go back again with my camera. The colors in your shot are beautiful.

      What an incredible view, and a nice picture. I've seen a little of Zion but would love to go back with more time, and I'd definitely have to do this hike.
