This past weekend was rather special on the Navajo Reservation and was one of the most productive photographically. Friday evening was spent watching the full moon rise above the Cardinals  in a remote canyon. ![[Linked Image]](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a390/dkoepsel/Blue%20Canyon/EdBlendBlueMoon8-12-11_029.jpg) After the moonrise at sunset, I went to a lesser traveled part of a different canyon for the moonset at sunrise Saturday morning. ![[Linked Image]](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a390/dkoepsel/Coal%20Mine%20Canyon/Ed800CoalMoon-8-12-11_030.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a390/dkoepsel/Coal%20Mine%20Canyon/Ed800CoalMoon-8-12-11_101.jpg) More images from these two canyons are posted in my gallery here: http://www.plateaulightphotography.com/Landscapes/Navajo-Country/11905461_pf4i2#1434509533_Z7p3DvXSaturday afternoon, I met a friend from Cortez Colorado and we drove to a remote point overlooking the Colorado River in Marble Canyon to photograph the following sunset and sunrise. Moonlight passing between the clouds dappled Marble Canyon. ![[Linked Image]](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a390/dkoepsel/Grand%20Canyon/Ed800TotahatsoMoonglow8-13-.jpg) Sunday morning broke with rain clouds above the canyon and Kaibab Plateau, but an opening to the east allowed the low angled sunlight to form almost a complete rainbow  over the horseshoe-shaped bend in Marble Canyon. ![[Linked Image]](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a390/dkoepsel/Grand%20Canyon/Ed800CroppedBlendTotahatso8.jpg) More images from Marble Canyon can be seen here: http://www.plateaulightphotography....graphy/11289820_iMwnH#1435278454_jjFFSrWAnd on the drive out, we even saw a young UNICORN  ![[Linked Image]](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a390/dkoepsel/Grand%20Canyon/Ed800UnicornTotahatso8-13-1.jpg) Doug

I don't see the unicorn but then I was told a long time ago that only virgins could see unicorns. Rest of the pictures are fantastic. miles

Great stuff as usual! I haven't seen a Unicorn since the 70s, and that may be for multiple reasons.
Great photography is not about being in the right place at the right time, it is about putting yourself in the right place at the right time.

My father's been dead for oer 21 years. I practice hearing him say my name, just so I won't forget how he sounded. That said, if I thought I was adopted, it would 'splain away a lot!

Don and Landman,
Thanks. The moonlight image was a 30 second exposure at ISO 800 and f/7.1 (sharper than if the lens is wide open at f/4). In retrospect, I should have probably used f/5.6 I was kinda experimenting with the moonlight in the canyon.
