The Stone Vortex
by Tad Bowman
This photograph was taken in a slot canyon of Utah. I was very much drawn to the repetitive shapes of the canyon walls with the unique striations.
Equipment: Canon 1dsMII, 24-70mm lens, tripod

    “C’est par l’art que l’humain prend conscience de son identitĂ© avec la nature.”(Rodin) Bravo Mr. Bowman, magnificent! While most walls seems to enclose, these let the light in and provide rays of hope.

    Great shot, though I would have shot the same scene with a shallower Depth of field.

    Very nice shot mate. I like the continuity of the capture and the overall red saturation.

    I’ve never seen this view of the Slot Canyon–much in the style of a Georgia O’Keefe painting. Beautiful and thought provoking!

    Very unusual; what kind of stone is this?

  16. Tad Bowman Says:

    Hi Pauline. I’m not entirely sure. I believe it’s sandstone.
