Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
I've been exploring black and white photography lately, as the winter landscape lends itself well to monochrome treatment. Some of the results have been stunning, which made me wonder what other photos I had that might improve if I removed the color.
The Black Canyon is a challenge to photograph. Because it's so narrow and deep, little light reaches the bottom, and while the views from the rim are stunning, capturing that on film or digital sensor is not easy.
I really like how this one came out. The clouds and mottled light on the northwest wall show up well, and you can really appreciate the texture of the walls.
