Grand Canyon by Bob Little
Our summer session will be coming to an end this September. We spent many hours learning about photography techniques and editing tips. We put them to use with trips around and about the Phoenix area as well as to the Grand Canyon. Whether inside or outside, our photographic skills were captured and developed during the Arizona summer! Now, it will soon be time to put them on display when our new year begins in October.
Featured Image: This classic-looking image captures the Grand Canyon at the “Desert View” point. On our summer trip to the canyon during our Arizona monsoon season, the Sun Lakes Camera Club members and friends take advantage of the beauty of sunrise, sunset, and any weather that only enhances one of the wonders of the world. Bob Little highlights some of our club members while he captures the grandeur of the Grand Canyon during a lull in the weather. Beautiful, Bob!
