Please tell us how you took that shot. What lens did you use, and what exposure settings?

Nice! Zion is a cool place. I was always taken with all the pastel hues. It always reminded me of fujichrome.

Great shot! We were there early last week and it and Bryce were super crowded. Zion was borderline overwhelmed by people.

God dammit! I have and love a Nikon D810 but every time I see the results from an X-T2 I start rethinking things.

Great photo. I'm assuming the setting moon is illuminating the Watchman?

Actually there wasn't moonlight, it was a nearby campground

Nice. I tried to do something similar last night out in the desert with my old crappy digital camera and all I got was black. With this phase of the moon and a clear sky the stars look amazing.

The high ISO performance of modern digital cameras is truly transformative. How high can you push it with acceptable results?
