HDR Photo the Horseshoe Bend of Glen Canyon

The Horseshoe Bend of Glen Canyon is a stunning sight that rivals the Grand Canyon in beauty. Although it is smaller and has fewer activities, the natural scenery is breathtaking.

Yosemite’s Half Dome From 2012

Earlier this year, I went to the Yosemite Half Dome. Back then, I was still more of a hobby photographer, not really taking it seriously, just shooting for fun. Unfortunately, I didn't shoot a single HDR photo.

Utah’s Million Dollar View

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 13, 2024
  • No comments
As you drive into Utah coming from Arizona, you'll come across this spot called the Million Dollar View. It's technically a little higher than this, but these are some of the mountains in that view. I just got down and got a closer look. For a point of reference, Lake Powell is a few hundred yards to the right of this mountain. This whole area is pretty awesome. I have a few more shots here that I'll be posting as I get more time to process them. I would love to go back here and really spend a few days exploring the landscape and seeing what kinds of photos I can get. But unfortunately, it's a 9-hour drive from my house, so that's probably not going to happen anytime soon.

The Whaley House of Old Town San Diego is the most haunted house in the United States. It's also the oldest brick house or the first of its kind in San Diego.

Glen Canyon Dam

  • Alik Griffin

This dam is a hydroelectric plant that creates Lake Powell, which is the second-largest man-made reservoir in the country. This dam was finished and built around 1966. In 1983, it nearly collapsed from all the flooding that occurred that year. It seems like it's a bit bigger than the Hoover Dam, the much more famous Dam several hundred miles downstream of the Colorado River. That Dam also forms Lake Mead, which I think is the largest reservoir in the nation. Although I currently believe Lake Powell has more cubic feet of water in it. Besides all that boring history, this dam is in a cool spot. The dam itself isn't as cool as the Hoover Dam, but Glen Canyon is amazing, and this whole area is unlike anywhere in the world. It's some of the most beautiful desert landscapes I've ever seen.

This is a photo I took while standing on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the Horseshoe Bend in Arizona - not the smartest thing I've ever done.

Grand Canyon – View from Mather Point

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 13, 2024
  • No comments
A year and a half later, I returned to the Grand Canyon with two new lenses. This time, I had a little more time—about two hours. I was able to use my tripod and switch my lenses a couple of times. This photo was taken on my Canon 70-200mm f2.8L IS II. The Grand Canyon often calls for a long lens to really focus on its features. This was a three-shot HDR taken handheld with that lens. Handheld can be very tricky and often doesn't turn out right if you move the lens too much. Luckily, this lens has an auto stabilizer that works great when you can get it to kick in. The photo was processed in Photomatix using the Exposure Fusion technique and tweaked with Lightroom 4.2.

Santa Barbara Orange Reflection

The other night, I was in Santa Barbara taking photos around the Pier. I'm slowly collecting all the piers of Southern California. While walking down to get a nice wide shot of the pier, I looked across this dirty little inlet lagoon thing that smelled really bad and saw all these trees and this little lighthouse perfectly reflecting across the water. So careful not to touch the water of this dirty smelly lagoon inlet thing with my tripod I got my camera really low and was able to get this. It was really the perfect time of night.
