Grand Canyon Dawn

Uploaded: February 28, 2009

Description

I had a couple of minutes with the last glimpse of color, then there was literally seconds where the sun broke through and lit the canyon. I think this was captured during the last few moments of that light.

That pattern played out several times during the day. You saw a great shot, and If you didn't act immediately, it was gone. Forget setting up a tripod or changing lenses. You had to be anticipating where the moving light would hit next, and have a long lnes ready to grab the moment when it happened.

Exif: F Number: 23, ExposureTime: 6/10 seconds, ISO: 800, FocalLength: 16.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
