Fall Color in the Canyon

Fall Color in the Canyon, a breathtaking photo by David Shield Photography on Flickr.

I chose the canyon featured in this image to hike because it is well known for vibrant fall color. However, due to last year’s long warmer summer most of the leaves in the canyon had not yet changed. Not wanting to give up, I hiked deeper into the canyon until I found this colorful display.

I waited for the sun to dip below the high canyon walls, so the scene could be photographed in even light.

I will be traveling during the next few weeks, exploring options for new workshop locations. I will also be working on another software product review. This is a product that very few of my contacts, (if any) have used. It is especially rare to use this software for landscape photography, so I am both excited and curious to see the results of my tests.
