Title: Canyon Fog
Post by: bretedge on December 17, 2008, 06:50:34 pm

I made this photo today in Canyonlands while guiding a client.  The clouds/fog drifted in and out of the canyons below the rim all day long, occasionally breaking over the rim and enveloping us.  When you're standing at the edge of a cliff with a 1,000' drop below you, and you can't see 10' into the fog, it's a bit of an eerie feeling.  Sure does make for some fascinating photo opportunities, though!

Thanks for having a look and leaving a comment.

Looks like you were definitely in the right place at the right time...

Amazing, the combination of fog and a luminous sky with interesting clouds is fantastic. I like it a lot.

That's a really special set of conditions--bet the client loved it!

Superb! I'd love to one day visit the US to shoot some of the spectacular landcapes you have there.
