Slot Canyon (c) Keith Every

Another stunning image from a fellow camera club member, and one that is timely in view of my course work.  A beautiful example of "similar colours" comprising shades of red, dark brown, yellow, orange, pink and horizontal lines in the weathering of the rocks and diagonal lines provided by the shape of the light and colours.  The composition is unusal with the main off-centre triangle with a top apex and the lower triangle formed by the rock formation in the shade - the dynamism is increased by the triangle apexes not aligning and the intersecting curves formed by weathering.  In fact, the composition is triangular more than anything else - if you look from a distance you see a series of triangles in increasing sizes.  I haven't checked yet with Keith (but I will), but I imagine this was shot on a very slow shutter speed and slightly under exposed so as to avoid (successfully!) burn out with the light coming through at the top.  This would have been perfect to use for Assignment Three for TAOP - if only I had taken it!
