Black Canyon at Sunset
Rene & I hung out at Black Canyon NP Sunday night to see if we could capture a sunset. I wanted to show you some of the light that we experienced. We had a great weekend hitting lots of the San Juans.

This image was captured on:

Wisner 4x5
Nikon 300mm M
Velvia 50

Wow, this is AWEsome! You say the image was captured, so I guess it's a good thing it wasn't catch & release!

Excellent, I have been to Black Canyon twice and found it to be a tough place to shoot. This is great. Hopefully Rene will share some images as well.

Yup, it's a difficult place to photograph well (narrow/deep holes in the ground usually are I guess) and this is one of the best I've seen. Excellent photo!

Just plain awesome Rich!! I was fortunate enough to see the actual film the other day, and let me tell you, it blew me away! Like said above, one of the best Black Canyon images I 've seen in a long time!!

Nice stuff Rich! That looks like it should be the cover of a Black Canyon book!

I have shot at Black Canyon, and have seen shots from Black Canyon, and this could very well be the best shot I have ever seen! It is a difficult place to get an interesting shot with this much detail. Very well done!!

Thanks everybody for the nice comments. Rene said to me "Where was I when you were shooting that?" and I said " Ten feet away" The sweet rim light lasted about 1-2 mins. After that we had nice skies but flat light. I am really happy with this one.
