The Crack
by Ian Plant
After smashing my lens, I had to borrow a friend's camera to make this image of the famous "Crack" below the Subway in Zion National Park. Here, North Creek in funneled through a narrow eroded joint in red sandstone. I chose a wide-angle perspective for a different take on an oft-photographed subject. To learn more about the story behind the image, visit my photoblog.
Equipment: Nikon D3X, 16-35mm lens
