The round Canyon Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken at the Grand Canyon....of course with the 10.5mm fisheye, my only wish would have been that there was nothing at the end of the path (except a fence :-)) as if it was a diving spot ! Hope you enjoy....thanks for looking.

Hi Pierre. I think I see some barrel distortion on your horizon, lol! :) I never would think to try a fisheye here but it looks great and really gets your attention. The shadow and colors are tops. Which side where you on? I might guess the north side but I'm not sure. Great shot Pierre!

Wow! This is interesting and beautiful! It's hard to take a picture of this place that is original, because it's been photographed so many times, but you achieve something different with this. The part I like the best is the curve of the horizon. Excellent!

Bonsoir Pierre, beau sentier se dirigeant à l'horizon, j'aime le jeu des couleurs et la rondeur du ciel.

Excellent use of your fisheye lens, Pierre.
It makes me think I am walking the plank on a pirate ship.
The colours are beautiful and I like the texture of the path in the foreground.
Well seen and composed.

Salut, Pierre.
Je ne suis généralement pas fanatique du fisheye, mais forca est de constater que le résultat est assez impressionnant, ici.
J'apprécie la netteté superbe de l'image et ses belles textures.
Merci du partage.

Bonsoir, Pierre,
Effet saisissant garanti ! le 10.5 mm a joué un rôle important pour donner à cette composition cet effet très original.
Nous avons l'impression de nous trouver dans un monde irréel ou encore dans un rêve éveillé !
Très bien fait.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Salut Pierre,
grand effet avec cette perspective et cet objectif, bien vu le résultat est surprenant et intéressant, bravo pour l'idée.

Hi Pierre - I absolutely love the fisheye effect here, the geometry of the walkway is perfect for it, the light and of course the landscape is also attractive.

Hi Pierre,
This is an unusual, high impact photo and worth far more attention than it has received. The depth is uncanny, and your fisheye effect so dramatic, all taken in superb light. I like the sharpness here, with objects such as the dead tree on the right splaying its limbs in all directions. Very fine work, my friend.
John

Salut Pierre!
J'aime bien l'effet du fisheye dans cette photo!
On a vraiment l'impression qu'au bout, on tombe de très haut!
Domage que ton ombre soit présente mais j'imagine facilement que c'était le prix à payer pour avoir ce POV original!

Hi Pierre
A fine and different way to present this great place - too bad I never been there myself.
Thanks for sharing this which also will fit in the shadow theme :-)
Regards
Jeppe

Bonjour PIerre,
Ca donne toujours des vues etonnantes ce fisheye, et ici l'impression que notre planete doit vraiment etre tres petite, utilise avec parcimonie ca permet de preserver l'effet de surprise ! Une vue de belle qualite.
Bonne fin de semaine,
Jean-Yves
