What better subject for a grand scenic photograph than the Grand Canyon
?
Shot these during a trip last April. #4090 was shot midday, ASA 80, 1/40, f/8.0; focal length 36 mm, handheld. I know middle of the day usually doesn't have the best light, but the shadows helped to give depth and shape to the canyon, and you can see the line that the Colorado River makes through the canyon. Tried to include some foreground elements to add depth.
#4096 was taken around the same time from a different location, ASA 80, 1/160, f/5.0; focal length 55 mm, handheld. You can see the light has changed and I included people in this shot to show the scale of the canyon. The tree branches were included as foreground elements to add depth.
#4424 was taken as the sun set from Mohave Point; ASA 80, 1/20, f/7.1; focal length was 152 mm, tripod mounted. The low angle of the sun really makes the colors of the canyon stand out, and I liked the horizontal bands in the background.
Please let me know how these photos could be improved. Thanks!
