Photo tips of the day: when doing wide-angle near-far landscape compositions, I often look for leading lines to help facilitate the viewer's journey through the image frame. I had to swim up this remote flooded slot canyon in the Arizona desert; when the water got shallow enough for photography, I used the reflection of the sky above the canyon as a leading line. 14mm, ISO 100, f/11, 0.6 seconds.
Extra awesome!
This is stunning. How did you keep your camera equipment dry when swimming?
That ‘dagger‘ of blue is perfectly placed for maximum impact as a two-fold compositional element: through color contrast, and through leading lines. Masterfully done!
