Once Upon a Time, There was the Grand Canyon

This is a photo of the Grand Canyon. I think it was Navajo Point, but I’m not positive. This and Mather Point are my two favorite spots so far. Eventually, I want to see the Grand Canyon from the north side. There’s lots of cool stuff up there, but it’s a bit more out of the way. I think this spot is only about four hours or so from Las Vegas, making it about eight or nine hours from my house in Los Angeles.

I’ve noticed you have to have perfect timing to get unique photos of the Grand Canyon. The weather must be doing something unique, the sunset must be amazing, and a little snow here and there helps. I didn’t get any of those last couple of times I’ve gone there. Maybe next time. 

I did a lot to this photo in the post to give it an old look: a bunch of cross-processing, colored filters, painting more color on, etc. I usually do this to all my photos a little bit, but this is by far the most extreme.

I’m still working on a proper color photo of this spot. It just takes me a little time to get it right. I’ll post it very soon.
