I took the above shot while I was returning from the Canyon Overlook hike. While the Canyon overlooks provides a bird’s eye view of the canyon, this shot was taken right inside it with the massive sandstone towers standing guard on each side. As we were going back to the Canyon junction to Park our car we came upon this view on one of the hairpin bends of the Canyon.
The clouds which formed a thick layer were being cleared by some intense winds which were smashing clouds against the huge sandstone peaks and breaking the clouds apart. I created this shot using the 35 mm focal length and stitching 8 shots together as the ultra wide angle was distorting the perspective a little too much and diminishing the grandeur of the majestic cliffs.. I love the intense blue of the sky and the contrast they provide against the red rocks.
Hope you all enjoyed the shot, more to follow soon…
