Jim will be our guest instructer in Moab workshop teaching how to shoot IR images so this will be a nice learning experience for those that attend.

Jim:
It doesn't look like you are having much luck with the weather. The flat lighting doesn't give you much sense of scale or texture. This light seems to only work in the third shot, the IR with the 75mm Summilux.
I was in Bryce a few years back at about this time of year and the snow really adds to the picture. I was lucky and had blue skies with clouds and some snow. The blue skies contrast really well with the reddish colours of Bryce.

Hi Jim:
I have to say your images look pretty flat and desaturated. I Suspect you forgot to convert to sRGB before posting?
I pulled these posted jpegs into CS, assigned sRGB and optimised levels which also increased contrast a bit and added some saturation, but frankly if they were mine, I'd bump saturation even a little more... Anyway, I think the results are a bit improved for web view. (I also did these on my laptop, so appologies in advance if I made them worse!):

I just went back to look at the slides from my 2003 trip to Bryce. I learned a couple things.
1.) The most dramatic slides are almost impossible to scan. This is where Jim's flatter lighting would have helped.
2.) Digital is a lot quicker than film. I probably spent an hour by the time I picked a slide turned on the scanner and figured out how to scan again.
Here is one of the images, probably shot with the 35-70mm F4 using the R9 and Kodak E100VS.

Nothing beats great light. Photography is all about the light. If i do anything well in photography this is it. I need to do a workshop in this area

I suggest Moab and Arches National Park
I was there a few days after Bryce. I will see if I have any decent slides to scan.Here is my Bryce shot again. Guy, you need to allow a few more posts per page.
