Photo Of The Day by Leland Howard (4/2/2013)

Today’s photo of the day is Coyote Gulch by Leland Howard. He submitted this photo to the People In The Landscape Assignment which closes tonight at midnight. The photo was taken east of Escalante Utah in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Howard writes, “There are some impressive and unique landscape features in Coyote Gulch in the Escalante National Monument of southern Utah. I found this Alcove next to the Jacob Hamblin Arch as striking as the arch itself. I’ve seen some pretty good images of the arch so I opted to work on this spot in order to perhaps get something a little different.” The camera was a Hasselblad 39D with a 30mm lens.

I’ll be choosing a Photo Of The Day every day. I select the images from the various OP galleries including Assignments, Your Favorite Places and all of the OP Contests. Also, for each issue of the magazine I go through the Assignments galleries and choose a few to be featured in The Best Of Assignments in print. To get your photos into the running all you have to do is submit them.
