Luminous Passage

by Justin Jew

The Narrows in Zion are truly phenomenal. After wading knee-deep in the beautiful Virgin River, we came upon this majestic location. Colorfully-carved 2,000 ft. sandstone walls surround me as I stand in disbelief. The canyon walls radiate in vibrant, warm hues and I was in position to capture a glorious scene.

Equipment: Canon 1dS | 17-40L | Hoya Pro1 CP | Cable Release

Awe inspiring! The way you time-exposed the flowing water makes it even better! How do you figure the f-stop for that?

Justin, this is magnificent! Thank you for sharing. May I ask, what are the blue and white things on the floor of the canyon on the right?

It probably brings your father a lot of joy to see you doing well in the thing that has driven his life. I hope you and he get to enjoy many more moments like that.
