Be My Love in the Rain (Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park)

Be My Love in the Rain

My wonder in the sunlight

My silence in a world screaming aloud

My conscience when others run amok

My sanity in the madness.

 

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one morning in Black Canyon of The Gunnison National Park while walking the Rim Rock Trail. This had been the first point I’d stopped the day prior upon entering this national park at Tomichi Point. To say that it was amazing, might be a little bit of an understatement! So I was walking along the Rim Rock Trail from the visitor center to this point and took a few minutes to once again soak in the view. I decided to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward and capture more of the sweeping view looking down into the canyon and then across to a far distant horizon. I also felt that minimizing the negative space of the blue skies above would also help in the composition of this vista-like view. Nearby would be in focus, while the sunlight and haze would create more of a "dreamy like" look to the more distant portions of this national park setting and canyon.

 

I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 3 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
