Blyde River Canyon - 50mm Panorama - a photo on Flickriver

Blyde River Canyon - 50mm Panorama

I've just returned from CapturEarth's 5-day Blyde River Canyon workshop... which I co-hosted with Des Jacobs.

Although it is difficult to compare canyons world-wide, the 25 kilometer long Blyde River Canyon is generally accepted to be the third largest canyon on Earth. It may not be the largest canyon, but it is the largest "green canyon" due to its lush subtropical foliage. It has some of the deepest precipitous cliffs of any canyon on the planet. The highest point of the canyon is a peak known as Mariepshop (1,944 meters), and the lowest point where the river leaves the canyon is slightly less than 561 meters above sea level. This means that the canyon is 1,383 meters deep!!

This image of Des Jacobs shooting his composition was captured shortly after sunrise on Friday morning. It's an 18-image panorama... captured with my 50mm lens in portrait format. The full-sized image is 29120 x 13028 pixels in size (that's a whopping 380 megapixels)!!

Nikon D800, Nikkor 50mm f1.4, ISO 100, aperture of f/11, and a 1/10th second exposure.
