Weekly Catch-up:
Ray left Moab this morning and is now just outside of Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah as he records. He shared all about his experience photographing Canyon Wrens and a few other species in the stunning habitat of Arches National Park. Brad captures some incredible diversity in a single outing with amazing light and conditions. Lots of photos to see in this week’s episode, hope you enjoy it!

What Would you Choose:
Mark Knoll from YouTube suggests: Here’s a possible “what if?” question for a future episode I thought of recently because I’ve been doing some after dark photography. From now on, you have to choose between shooting entirely before or after sunrise/sunset. Which do you choose? If your answer is to shoot only during the day like I would expect, the follow up question is that now, X minutes of daylight before and after sunrise/sunset get counted as nighttime. What value of X would be enough to get you to switch over to “night” time? (night time now includes an extra X minutes on each side of sunset/sunrise)
