Grand View [Enlightenment]
Uploaded: July 12, 2012 03:01:01
Canyonlands NP Grand View Point Overlook. Had the place to myself for quite a while and thoroughly enjoyed just taking it in. Decided to document, so set the camera on the tripod and 10s timer. Polarizer on to mute the brightness, wide angle (10mm), three shot HDR.
Exif: F Number: 12.9, ISO: 100, FocalLength: 10.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 40D
