Red Rock Canyon II Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a closer look at the Red Rock Canyon outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. The Gray Carbonate in the background is the Thrust Fault that I mentioned in yesterday's post. The tan and red rock is Sandstone, the younger of the two types of rock that makes this region well known to geologists.
I used my 28-70mm Tokina F2.8 with a polorizer filter to enhance the colors and to cut through any haze that was present as the day was well into the afternoon and the temperature was quite warm. I did change the sky color slightly in PS due to the scan as noise developed in the sky from the film. The remaining image was untouched other than sharpening a bit.

This is a great shot too. The mix of colors and contrast in the rocks are super.
