Photography : Photo Of The Week : #53 11.22.02
 


November 22, 2002


I grabbed this shot on a recent trip to the Grand Canyon.  This was taken around sunset. 

As with the last time I was at the canyon, I didn't take too many photos.  The canyon is just one of those places that photos can't accurately depict.  For me, it goes a little further.  I personally didn't really start to get impressed with the canyon until I hiked into it.  Then, a couple miles within, I began to get my head around it all.  The grandeur and scale are amazing. 

I considered taking some panoramic, but that too would be inaccurate.  To accomodate the entire canyon in a reasonable length, you'd loose all the subtly of the rock face and the light that strikes it.  Consider this -- for this shot, you're seeing about 5% of the total vista.
