Lake Powell

Lake Powell

White sandstone formations gleem in the sun up along Warm Creek Canyon in an inlet at Lake Powell, Utah. Lake Powell is one of the most scenic lakes in the USA if not the world. Most of the lake is in Utah, but some of the slot canyons in the eastern parts are actually in Arizona.

Some information about Lake Powell:
Lake Powell, the second largest reservoir in North America, is approximately 186 miles long and has 1,960 miles of shoreline. Slot canyons, inlets, and coves shelter the Indian ruins and natural wonders made by this lake. There are 6 marinas along the lake: Dangling Rope, Wahweap, Bullfrog, Hall’s Crossing, Hite and Antelope Point. Rainbow Bridge, one of the most fascinating and most visited sites on Lake Powell is approximately 10 miles southeast of Dangling Rope. It is called “Nonnoshoshi” by the Navajo people, or “rainbow turned to stone.” Many of the slot canyons or inlets around Wahweap are highly photographed and this one particular slot canyon is very scenic.

About the photograph:
This particular photograph was not easy to take. We needed to get the boat as close as possible to the rock structure without hitting the bottom. This was to allow me to capture the shallow “green” water mixed in with the blue water and white rocks structures. I had to take this shot hand-held and sideways. Very lucky that our friends who owned the boat were patient with me. This took almost 2 hours to setup :)
Photo taken with a Canon Elan, 20mm lens, 8 ft from the rocks.

    Nice work, However, please re-read the guidelines to Bubblers Weekly Submissions: http://www.redbubble.com/groups/bubblers-weekly-challenge/join

  • steveberlin replied

    Thanks Taylor… I am not trying to sound rude, but your guidelines are really confusing and I have no clue what you are saying lol. I will just leave the group for now, maybe join up in a bit… Thx :)

    Steve

  • Taylor Sawyer

    Taylor Sawyer

    Steve, can I try to explain before you just up and leave? The guidelines state taht you can enter any challenge at anytime with anywork from your portfolio even if it is NOT submitted to the group. Upon culmination of the challenge, if your work is placed in the top ten, it will then be asked to submit to the group wher eit will be featured. Thus the group will only have the best of the best in it. Hope that helps! Taylor

  • steveberlin replied

    That makes a lot more sense than what you wrote in a super long bmail, and now i understand it hehe….
