Capitol Reef National Park - Utah

Timing is everything - especially when you can only take one photo every 10-15 seconds and the light is moving fast. Sometimes you only get one shot at it!<br />
<br />
Such were the conditions for this scene here in the badlands of Southern Utah outside Capitol Reef National Park.<br />
<br />
I was using my @getolympus OM-D E-M1mk3 camera with the M.Zuiko 12-100mm f4 PRO lens in handheld high-res mode. This gives me a 50MP file, but it takes the camera around 10-15 seconds to process it before I can take another photo.<br />
<br />
The light was rapidly changing, moving across the valley below. I waited until it lit the spire and took my shot. By the time the camera was ready to take another, the light was gone. But I got the photo I wanted in that one shot 😊<br />
<br />
I knew when photographing this that it would make a fantastic black & white.
