This year it was my first visit to Grand Canyon. Due to my flight cancellation in Toronto, I had to change the itinerary of my driving trip through the land of canyons. It meant that instead of 2 days dedicated to the exploration of Grand Canyon I had only 1 day.
The good news was that the weather was great with the regards to travel and landscape photography. It was sunny, the air was crystal clear and with thick white clouds.
I took many of the photos trying to maximize the effect of dramatic skies over the Grand Canyon. But for the featured photo, I took a different approach. I decided to emphasize different types of canyon’s textures and colors by excluding sky completely.

By processing bracketed shots as HDR (High Dynamic Range Photography) allowed me to make textures the focal point of the photo.
