On our first full day in Zion we hiked into one of the most amazing slot canyons in the world: The Narrows. We rented drysuit pants, neoprene socks, canyoneering shoes, and a walking stick and trudged 9 miles up and down the Virgin River. Some times the water was almost up to our thighs but mostly it was knee to ankle deep.
One of the photographs on our bucket-list was a photo of flowing water captured with the sunrise reflecting back in the water. As we hiked towards the Wall Street section of the Narrows we kept an eye on the color of the water. About 45 minutes into the hike we finally spotted the beautiful color reflecting in the water. I found a slightly shorter shutter speed brought out more of the color and definition in the water. I liked this particular spot because water was bouncing off one of the rocks in the river.
