view once a lifetime

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
One "view of lifetime" for me.
First time approaching the Grand Canyon - spectacular enough for sure - but storm in front, low sun in the back, the air loaded with electricity, peoples hair standing on end, seing a double rainbow reaching far into the abyss... will never forget this moment. Even the park rangers said that it was a very rare sight.
Location: South rim, Mather point.
!!! Please check out what Ioneroc managed to get out of it in the workshop - He is right, it is much closer to reality than the result from my KodaK Photo-CD-scan !!! |

Hi Werner,
Good shot but that strong gray overcast take away those magnificent colours of Grand Canyon. I workshopped this image - have a look how much difference small post-processing can make!
I hope you find it useful.
Cheers!

The Grand Canyon is one of those places that is impossible to capture... however here you have done it! Congrats...

Wow, beautiful shot! The rainbow has a wonderful circular shape, and can be seen very clearly because of the dark clouds in the background too. Spectacular!

Bonjour Werner,
trdè impressionnnant et pas commune cette vue d'arc en ciel presque un demi cercle double. Avec en fond un paysage impressionnant, celui du grand Canyon.
Regards.
daniel.
