Grand Canyon, North Rim, July 2021, Part 8

Storm Over The Canyon

At the outward end of our hike, we scrambled onto boulders for good views of the canyon and the distant storm.

Boulders, Canyon and Storm Clouds

The best view into the canyon was in one direction, so I shot in that direction, towards the distant storm, varying the foreground and the horizontal and vertical angles, experimenting with compositional variations with the same general view of the canyon.

I used the portion of the canyon immediately below the view point as a leading line towards the main canyon and the storm in the distance.

Unlike those that are naturally artistic, I often do not immediately see “the composition” that I want.  I enjoy trying different compositions and I’m often surprised at how I perceive the results, after having time to review and edit the photos.   Often, the images I like the best are not the ones that others favor, which may be an indication of my natural bent towards seeing things in a more scientifically curious way,  rather than in an artistic manner.

As always, readers comments and opinions are welcome,
