Contrary to what the average person with his smartphone thinks, capturing a great sunset or sunrise isn’t the easiest thing to do (if you don’t believe that, try to enlarge and print one of those pics you’ve taken with your phone that looks good on social media!) By no means am I a great landscape photographer, and I could have used the polarizer that I left at home to help out, but you gotta give it a shot with what you’ve got. These were some of my favorites from the trip (and yes, some are repeats from earlier posts…)
The first spot that I stopped at after entering the Grand Canyon was the Desert View Watchtower – what a great way to get introduced to this Park. The structure itself is something else, but the views give you an idea of what’s to come. (The first pic is of the Watchtower itself, the second is from the top of the Watchtower and the third is from closer to sunset and was taken from Navajo Point).
