Mather Point Sunset

An illustration in not coming that far in some respects as we might have hoped. Canon D-30 (yep 3 meg max image).

The incomparable canyon is always as inspiring as any image!

I lugged around a used D30 for several years, Tom. It was such a treat to finally have full control over my own color images instead of sending off the film to the lab.

This shot has a very painterly effect like a 19th century landscape master. I could see cropping this down from the top to just above the lower black dot on the right edge. That would eliminate some of the plainest sky that's not contributing much.

I think that it is not so much the low resolution as the limited dynamic range that makes images form that era look somewhat "plastic". Partly because of that I stayed with film until 2009 ..
This is a beautiful composition nonetheless. And I would definitely not crop any of the sky - it would completely "fold" the landscape onto itslef
