Description
This image was taken in September 2016 during my first night on the Colorado River, deep inside the Grand Canyon, when on a nightscape photography workshop with noted professional photographer, Royce Bair. Unfortunately, the sky was mostly overcast; but I was still able to get a reasonable shot of our transportation, two rafts built for serious white water rafting that the Colorado demands, with canyon walls in the background.
It actually turned out to be a far better image in black and white, in part because it was impossible to get a tack sharp image of the rafts in color due to the river's slowly moving them back and forth during the 25-second timed exposure used to capture the sky and stars. With the contrast in B&W, that lack of sharpness on the rafts in not quite as noticeable.
