http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.png Slice #2, the Great Colorado
A big Thank you for all that commented on Slice #1. Slice #2 was shot approx. 20' to the right of the first one. 10% crop from the bottom of the picture as suggested in #1. Also, processed Slice #2 in Photoshop #3, Cloudy. Trying to warm up the flat light shown on Slice #1. Any suggestion for warming up flat light when you can not be there at sunrize or sunset. Second problem for this photographer with limited knowledge. When I saw the Grand Canyon this first time I was struck by the emence scope of what was presented to me. My thoughts, "How do you attack this photographic problem? (Problem: Give your photograph a chance to do justice to the magnitude of the situation.) Talking with several people photographing the canyon that day did little to answer or comfort this person. Their answer was to take pictures of small chunks of real estate, with a 70-200 F2.8 or similar lens and not face the problem.
My answer that I finally came to was to take a series of pictures with the wides lens that I had. Pano shots did not seem to work for this project.
Your critique and informative suggestions are greatly appreciated.
