Checkerboard Mesa

[Jim G]

Hi all.

Here is a shot of Checkerboard Mesa in Zion National Park, Utah. Taken with a very wide angle lens at 9mm. I had to wait about an hour for all the people taking selfies to exit the hill. The hill is not nearly as squat as it appears here.

D2X w/ Sigma 8-16 f/4.5-5.6 @9mm
f/22, 1/100 sec, iso 200

Thanks so much Jeff. I almost gave up on the hill being clear of people.

Very beautiful! Did you use a polarizing filter?

Hi Cristobal.

Thanks for the kind words. No filter was used here. I never use a polarizing filter with a lens this wide. The picture was purposely underexposed to yield the sky you see.
