This is a photo I shot at Bryce Canyon (a photographer's dream place!). I like the perspective it gives, as the people going down into the wall canyon get smaller and smaller, showing exactly how immense and foreboding the canyon is. I also like how the walls of the canyon provide a natural frame for the shot.

No post-processing. Details: Nikon 1 J1, 1 Nikkor VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6, shot at 10mm ISO 100, f/4.5 - 1/640.

Terrific shot! I haven't been there, so this is a great image to try to understand the scale.

thanks for sharing-- brings back good memories as I remember our group coming up the canyon from down there below.
BEAUTIFUL I was puffing a bit when I got to the top!

Indeed! Many people don't realize that you're at some 8,000 feet -- and the air is thinner. When I'm in canyon country, I always allow myself at least twice the time to get back up from the time it takes me to get down. :)

Oh yeah, it's high!
