Last Year: Grand Canyon
August 12, 2008
This time last year, I was still recovering from a whirlwind roadtrip to the Grand Canyon with my good friend Pete, and his friend Brett. We left Abilene early on a Monday morning, and were back in Abilene by Thursday. Almost 2,500 miles in 4 days.
We made it all the way to Flagstaff the first day, and set an alarm for 3:00am, so we could be at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon by sunrise. It was cold, and it was early, but it was absolutely worth it. This is one of my favorite shots from all my years of shooting. Very little post-processing done afterwards…just a beautiful dawn at a beautiful vista.

Hey! Exquisite picture from the Grand Canyon. I went out there about 4 years ago and didn’t get a chance to see anything like that.
We hiked in at about 7 am but that wasn’t early enough as we hit the brunt of the sun coming back out of the canyon.

A gorgeous sunrise shot at the canyon. I like the panorama effect very much. Added to my VFXY collection.
