Great Salt Lake Gallery Blog

Brett Pelletier Photography - Great Salt Lake Gallery

This gallery is a photographic collection of images captured near the Great Salt Lake in Utah. It's been more then a few years, but I can still remember the conversation like it was this morning; one day talking with my parents they said "you've been living in Salt Lake City for a while and have never taken any photos of the Salt Lake" It never really occurred to me up to that point that there was anything out there to be photographed and who would want a photo of that anyway. Well, as usual the elders were on to something and this gallery is one of my top sellers as well as giving me a chance to find something out of nothing. I recently explored the Bonneville Salt Flats west of the Great Salt Lake and waited around until 9:30 pm (summer solstice) for sunset and was rewarded with spectacular colors that seemed to go on forever. These two images were captured after the sun had dropped behind the Silver Mountains and pastel pinks and purples spread across the sky and Bonneville Salt Flats. A few hours before the sun had set I managed to capture a very nice Panoramic of the Bonneville Salt Flats. The Great Salt Lake ends up being a great place to discover secret spots such as Sunset Ripples and Antelope Island and Old Train Car Doorway. Other gems from the forgotten past are Sunset on Forgotten Pier, Parallel Intersections and Abstract Balance. I make trips out to the area more often and during different times of the year such as Antelope Island Winter Sunset and realized that even out in this flat, desolate landscape there are obvious seasonal changes in both the landscape and lighting of this unique place.
