Shutterbug Photo of the Day: “The Wave” by Rick Bergstrom
Our Shutterbug Photo of the Day by Rick Bergstrom is an artistic study of color and form. The time worn rocks, worn down by the elements, have assumed a smooth wave formation.
“Located in the North Coyote Buttes Wilderness Area on the Utah/Arizona border, 'The Wave' is a world famous sandstone formation reached after a three mile scramble across slickrock sandstone, deep sand, and aggressive cactus," writes Bergstrom. "Only twenty visitors per day are allowed to venture out across the unmarked route. No matter how many images one has seen of The Wave, nothing compares to being there to capture your own interpretation of this iconic formation."
This image was captured with a Nikon D800 and a Nikon 16-35mm at 16mm, f/8, 1/200 and ISO 100.
