wildforlight 0 Posted March 25, 2012 On certain days of the year, in this very remote SW slot canyon, a truly amazing amount of color variation can be seen with the naked eye. The method of capture was to hike in very early in the morning and spend an entire day carefully watching the light do it brief dance in various parts of the canyon and simply take careful mental note. The next day, very early in the morning I went back, this time with the aim of being prepared to capture the site. Once reaching the end of the canyon I found the location and simply waited. Eventually the light did its brief dance, I shot off a 12 shot focus bracket (each 12 shots also exposure bracketed for insurance) with the Canon 5D Mark2, Canon 14mmL2 at f/5.6, 400 ISO, no filters. Image was processed mainly in LR 4 raw. Thank you for the feedback. Link to comment

johne37179 29 Posted March 26, 2012 Mark, I suppose that the slot canyons of northern AZ are among the most photographed things on the planet. They are beautiful and photographically seductive. Because of that one rarely sees a new approach to the subject. Your fresh view is both creative and stunning. Congratulations on the conception and the execution. Both are inspirational!

joscelyn_sylvester 0 Posted March 26, 2012 This is an outstanding image and finally one that is quite distinctive from the typical canyon images we see. I am presuming that there was no hanky-panky with the color and this is as you saw it. I offer my sincere kudos on a beautiful image. Link to comment
wildforlight 0 Posted March 27, 2012 Thanks everyone. Joscelyn Sylvester thanks for the feedback. No hanky panky. My adjustments are pretty basic. It's all about getting the very best moments of light, then working within those parameters, yet with excellence. Link to comment
