Location
March 2019 had the privilege to raft the Grand Canyon for my 10th time! We had camped at Saddle Canyon which is located in the Marble Canyon section about Mile 47 from the start of the trip at Lee's Ferry. Made this image in the afternoon of day 4 of the trip after setting up camp.Time

Late afternoon when the shadows grow longer is a good time to look around.Equipment
Made with Nikon D850 with 24mm f1.4 Rokinon lensInspiration
Marble Canyon is amazing with towering walls rising at times right next to the Colorado River!Editing
I don't do much in the way of post processing and just tweak the image to get the right feeling.In my camera bag
Nikon D850 with 24mm lens getting the most use. Also have a Nikkoe 100mm D lens nd Nikkor 24-120mm D lens in the bag.Feedback
Look around, you will find something of interest!
