Grand Canyon Grey Day

This is a favourite of mine, even though the light was not the greatest when I took the shot. The time was late afternoon, the sun was nearing the horizon, and it was windy and cold. The location was Lipan outlook, at the eastern end of Desert View Drive, Grand Canyon. It's a great viewpoint, and not very many tourists usually go here. The road entering the viewpoint climbs up to a high location. I was able to extract a lot of colour out of the grey cliffs and clouds, using photoshop. The original raw file was quite dark, and did not show a lot of colour. This is one benefit of using photoshop, and also of knowing how to use it. The raw file directly out of the camera would normally be discarded by the camera novice, due to its dark appearance. I prefer low light images over the bright sunny day images that some seem to prefer. Even though the image may appear dark at first glance, with a little effort and know how, a reasonable image may be extracted.
