Description
The Grand Canyon, one of America’s oldest National Parks, is an awesome sight. I first encountered this unimaginable landscape 52 years ago; each subsequent visit to the park was met with suprise, something different at which to marvel. It is impossible to photograph the park as a whole, rather, one must look at each new revelation and photograph each new understanding as best as possible with limited tools and technique. This series reveals to a viewer ways in which I saw the park in April, 2017, a current visual understanding of this magnificent place.
Layer upon layer of geological time is displayed as one stands quietly on the rim looking into the bowels of this vast, nearly limitless rift carved into the earth by ancient volcanic activity and the flow of the Colorado River. The landscape seems to change around every corner of accessable views, undulating in and out, up and down, continually exposing one to a slice of earth’s historical record. One cannot help but stand in awe of this space imposing space.

I processed the raw image file shot with a Canon 60D with an 18-55mm IS lens using Photomatix Pro 5, filters from Topaz Labs including Detail 3, BW Effects, ReMask 4 and DeJPEG 4 as well as some minor tweaking in Photoshop including sCurve adjustments, brightness, saturation and the camera raw filter to produce this Black and White HDR image.
