p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Black Canyon of the Gunnison | US National Park


One of the hidden gems of the US National Parks system, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park was added to the National Park registry on October 21, 1999. A quick image search reveals that the park has yet too see much foot traffic by photographers and has not been well documented compared to many of its peers.

I found the scenery to be simply stunning and very accessible. We were only in the park for a few hours, but I'd love to spend more time working with the scenes in the future.

You are right, it's not documented very well. I know I have driven by it on numerous occasions without stopping, maybe I better stop next time! You have some very nice shots here #1 and 3 are my favorites. I usually don't care much for heavy vignetting, but in the case of #3 it creates a wonderful mood of mystery going along with the B&W processing.

Good work,

Jim

yeah, I have never heard of it...but now I want to add it to my list for when I visit Colorado...the first shot is really nice, great textures and sharpness throughout. Is that a product of the lens?

I've been very impressed by the quality of the Zeiss 21mm. The color rendition, contrast, and sharpness all seems off the charts. I used Lee GND filters on all of these images. This probably helped with the colors throughout the image.

Thanks y'all for the nice comments! We were about the only ones there the day we visited. So if you're like me and getting tired of the crowds at the national parks, it might be a nice change of pace.

Of these #1 stands out for me. Black Canyon is a difficult place to shoot. Part of it is having a reason to be in that location at the right times, when there are so many other choices... Anyway, my opinion is the fewer people the better.
