Horse Shoe Band Photo

Photographer’s Note

I was digging in my archive and found one of my favorite pictures.

This is the Colorado River "Horse Shoe band". unique and very photogenic. In order to take this shot I had to stand on the edge of the cliff and pray not to fall down.
Taken with a 10-20 Sigma lens.

P.s
I posted some "how-to" articles on my site, I hope you can find them useful. click here

Hello Mati,

This is a really good picture. I like the POV, and the water colour. You put this stone on the foreground : that's a good thing.
Unfortunatly, there is a lack of sharpness. It should be because of JPEG compression.
But this is a picture I like a lot ! Congratulations.

Man, Its huge!
I'm amazed at the large landscape you've captured in a single image. The b'uty of ur image is that in spite of the large POV, you haven't compromised on the details- I can still see the algae and sand in green water. Strange structure!

Cheers for the gr8 work,
Darpan

Hi Mati, A very magnificent capture of this meandering river. A plus the visible suspended sediments in the water which implies movement and direction of flow. Thanks for sharing...Alex

Mati: another fine take of this highly photographed place - even with the scorching, hazy sky. regards, c
