First Visit

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on First Visit

I saw the Grand Canyon (North Rim) for the first time ever. But I have a fear of heights and I simply couldn’t go with Dan to see it from the edge there. Even from where I sat I was having issues. In addition, the wind was absolutely crazy. Turned out we drove all the way there, spent a few minutes looking, and headed back out because it was just too windy! Ah well … maybe I’ll get back there again sometime. It could happen.

This is just an iPhone shot: we didn’t even bother with our “real” cameras because of that darn wind!

Desert Dunes

I’ve had very little time to look over my photos from our desert trip: it’s a busy time of year for me musically, so time for photography is not as available. Today, though, I’ve  had a little more time to look over some images. I think I’ll have more to share when I find more time to work on them.

I thought I’d go ahead and share my very first shot (with a Canon: there are plenty prior to this using the iPhone) from the evening we arrived. In this image you might spot a bit of blur in the upper right which is actually blowing sand. It was a bit windy out there.

The dunes never cease to amaze me.

The Camera You Have At Hand

… sometimes the iPhone is the camera at hand. So you use it.

As we were hiking one of my cameras was in my backpack and the other was being brought in by the pack train. I was not hiking quickly so I didn’t ever pull out the backpack camera (my Canon Rebel SL2) to shoot anything: I didn’t want to be TOO far behind! Thus, the iPhone was put to use when I wanted to capture a moment, even while I knew I probably wouldn’t use the images for larger prints. Still, I think some are worth sharing.
