The depths of the Grand Canyon contain many exquisite details that can only be appreciated through a long lens. But the reach of the telephoto lens is necessary but not sufficient for true appreciation of these structures. There must also be sufficient light at a low angle to throw the details into relief and isolate any distinctive shapes from the surrounding geological terrain. Without this light, the casual observer will quickly pass over these views without noticing their beauty. The flat light of midday, when most visitors pass through the park, renders the details as simple desert terrain, and does not attract any further attention. As the sun sets, as in this view, the massive stone wall, and the unique conical pyramid of Dana Butte enter your awareness thanks to the reach of the longer lens.
