Mitchell Yee
Good morning. It is December 8, and right now’s photograph comes from the ground of the Grand Canyon. The photographer, Mitchell Yee, admits that this isn’t the very best shot one may seize from this distant location, however there is a motive—he shot it on his iPhone in August.
“Whereas it is a pretty atypical photograph, what was wonderful to me was the extent of high quality of cellular phone images,” he advised me. “Usually, I might haul out my massive Nikon however since we have been mountain climbing all the way down to the underside of the canyon to fulfill our dories, weight was constrained. So I skipped the additional 15–20 kilos of digital camera, lens(es), and tripod and as an alternative loved the 9-mile hike with my 18-pound pack. After all, this shot might have been a lot improved with a ‘actual’ digital camera on a tripod. However there I used to be, flat on my again on a sand berm, with the very best digital camera I had at that second, my iPhone 13 mini, and I nonetheless made the shot I wished.”
Dories, I am fairly positive, are boats. However I am form of in “Afraid to Ask” Andy territory with that one.
In any case, I assumed the photograph was beautiful, and I respect Mitchell sharing it.
