This photograph was taken from nearly the same position as the image “In a Zion Side Canyon” elsewhere in this gallery. The meltwater which draped itself down this staircase of sandstone was an irresistible subject for a photograph, but was surprisingly difficult to capture due to the positioning of the water and the difficulty in getting the camera in a favorable location. I ended up using a longer focal length to compress the image a bit, and had to use quite a slow exposure with a small aperture to get the adequate depth of field.
