Originally posted by annig: that is GRAND!! I am dying to get to this place one day..I've heard you can hike down into it and then camp out in the bottom? oh that sounds great! and a long day!!

I believe there are all sorts of ways to see the canyon, plane rides, mule tours, and some river tours I think. I would love to camp out there and spend a few days! We went on a whim (we were in vegas), so we didn't have time to plan anything other than going and seeing it ;) The side we went to (the west side I believe) you had to have a tour bus take you to the canyon, apparently its to dangerous to do it alone, it was nice though b/c they took us to a few different spots and fed us a traditional native american ("buffet style") lunch!

Originally posted by cogerox: This is a great shot of the canyon, Ashley. You did a good job remembering the rule thirds, and your sky has some nice drama going on. Beautiful colors front to back, and you caught the light just right. The closest foreground isn't quite in focus, though. Were you using a tripod? Or perhaps you needed a higher f stop. Otherwise, a classic shot.

I actually shot this with my canon powershot, I didn't have a tri pod, just literallly point and shot this one....I did levels on the foreground and background seperately to bring out the detail in both.

Looks like an unusually friendly 50th birthday cake. Happy birthday, ApertureAshely's mom! Nice focus and it makes me smile.

This is a wonderful shot of the Grand Canyon and your explanation of the triangular peak is a way of putting it in perspective. I would love to visit the Grand Canyon some day. We have a mini Grand Canyon of the Pacific her on Kauai but it is small in comparison, 1 mile wide, 10 mile long and 3600 feet deep, or so.

I am happy to hear that you were not that close to the edge. It is a nice shot.

The perspective and the B&W work very well.
