Jupiter Rising

300mm · f/13 · 1/30 · ISO 100

There we were as Jupiter rose, on the precipice of a new dawn. The world will never be the same...

This is an abstract piece from some mighty fine slot canyons in southern Utah last summer. The glowing light and sandstone textures embedded this idea of Jupiter or Mars into my mind as I was processing, so I chose to jump in feet first.

This hold s special place in my heart as my partner, our dog, and I have navigated the COVID Pandemic together. I hope you enjoy!

Great capture!

Really nice shot ! The small silhouettes are so tiny but so important to give the sense of hugeness ! And the luminosity contrast is great between them and the background canyon.

Absolutely stunning. A perfect subject with a great mankind to nature relation. Regarding other ever same photos from that location this is a refreshing change.

This POV is incredible ! Great work ...

So beautiful! I’m very curious about how you lit this.

One can only wonder what the unmanipulated image looked like.

Great work. I am assuming that the canyon was not at the scale you imply, and that the figures were positioned in post.

This goes to show the power of creativity.
