el cañón grandioso, 9-15
(1 in a multiple picture album)
Capturing the Grand Canyon is hard. You can't get a sense of its size with a photo. Maybe this would help visualize it. Let's say you could build a bridge from where I stood to take t his shot, across to the north rim. That bridge would have to be 10 miles long.
Now let's imagine you walked out on that bridge and stopped where the Colorado River runs directly below you. You'd be looking down a mile to its surface.
The other thing that makes shooting the Grand Canyon challenging is that it changes color all day long and the depth of the color depends on the amount of sun and the angle of the light. I've seen the canyon when it all looks dull with various shades of tan. Then I've seen it on a day like this with all the colors jump out at you.
