Color Palette: Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon at sunset is an incredible sight to see. I highly suggest it to anyone that hasn't been! My road trip from St. Louis to San Diego in the Spring of 2017 involved several landmark stops along the way. I was very thankful for an experience I was likely never to see without a road trip to the West Coast.

Because of the sheer depth of this canyon, the vivid oranges and blues during mid-day wash out to gorgeous pastel shades as the sun sets. Since this is a very cliche area to take pictures, lighting is a huge difference-maker to separate my work from the average iPhone user. The desert was windy and cold by this point in the evening, but it was definitely worth it for the colors I captured.
