New on 500px : Ancient Sandstone Canyons by MarkMetternich by MarkMetternich

An original take on an ancient canyon that makes up part of the very origin of the 277 mile long, over a mile deep, Grand Canyon.

Processing techniques are explained in my various Photoshop Video Tutorials. Feel free to Facebook me or visit WildForLight.com

Thank you for looking. 🙂

Dynamic Range was dealt with using my unique “Layer Style “Blend if” technique keeping the image true 16 bit (layer masks render areas of an image into 8 bit in a 16 bit space!)…
