02/27/09 - Grand Canyon Sunrise

The sun will be peeking over that little notch near the left edge in one minute. In the meantime it's pretty dark here except for that glorious sky. This would have made an interesting HDR processed image - but I shot just this one frame and then brought out a much shadow detail as possible in post-process (without spoiling things too much with noise). With no detail other than silhouettes, this image strikes me as more of an artist's graphic design than it does a photo - and I like that.

Nikon D70s
10s f/20.0 at 62.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I think your approach works perfectly here - it makes a lovely graphic image.
