One from Zion this fall. This was at the end of October while the tram was still running. Went up the canyon on a very rainy day. Got soaked, but realized that moments like this in Zion are very fleeting as once the rain stopped, the waterfall quickly diminished to a trickle. Taken with a 5x7. Jim

Beautiful shot, Jim.

Great long exposure! This may be enough to renew my interest in building my own P&S camera for just such purposes!

Thanks Argos. The camera is great for little experiments like this; I don't worry much if it gets covered with dew, frost, or whatever :-)

Cheers,
Leon

P.S. It was about 25 degrees F during most of this exposure
