Beautiful Moab

After living in Colorado for years, I finally made a trip to Moab, Utah. Wow! Moab is a photographer's paradise. My wife and a few friends of ours decided we should all take a long weekend and visit Moab. I'm so glad we did! Of course, photographing on vacation with friends means a lot of mid-afternoon shots, which isn't the best time of day for photos. I knew that would be the case so I brought along a neutral-density filter as well as my polarizer filter.

I brought the neutral density filter to help cut the amount of light coming into the lens, and the polarizer filter to help restore some blue back to a mid-afternoon sky. The polarizer can also help increase color saturation and contrast. As it turns out, I was able to use the polarizer filter for most of the trip.

After a few days of camping, hiking, and biking, we were ready to get back home. I'm sure I'll be visiting Moab again, hopefully sooner than later.
