Grand Canyon + Metadata Monday Winner

Well, I'm giving busy.org a try and overall I like it, but right now it's being dumb and making it really hard to upload pictures. So I guess I'll just stick with the one picture it let me upload for now!

I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time a couple weeks ago, and goodness gracious it is amazing. It was in the mid-20s while we were there, so the majority of the group I was traveling with were lame and would get out and peek at each lookout point, then go back to the van. I wanted to soak up every bit of the Grand Canyon I could, so I kept everyone waiting while I climbed around to my heart's content and dangled my feet over the end while gazing out over the vast hole in the ground. It really is true that pictures don't do the Grand Canyon justice. It is such a remarkable natural phenomenon and I could have spent hours just sitting along the edge enjoying the view.
It's definitely humbling to sit along the edge of something so vast and realize how tiny and unimportant I am in comparison. I think it's a feeling that everyone should experience in their lifetime.

I'll post some more pictures from the Grand Canyon sometime when busy.org or steemit are more cooperative, but for now here's a panorama that I took. I tried out the panorama feature on my Fuji just to see what it was like and this was the result. My analysis is: not the worst, not the best!

In other news, the winner of my @photogames Metadata Monday post is none other than the notorious @aweber who guessed the answer (40mm) right on the button. Congrats you ol' so and so!

If any of you are interesting in competing in my Where is it Wednesday post, you still have time to do so! All you have to do is guess what time of day the picture was taken and the winner gets money. Come join the fun!

Does the Fuji stitch it into one giant photo, or into a regular sized (just really wide) photo? Also, just so you know for future, I can see on the left side where it didn't quite stitch together properly, not sure if that was in-camera or what.

But sweet photo other than that! Wish I could have been there with ya!

It's just the built in "pan across in this direction and we'll make a panorama" feature, so it's just a really wide picture.

And you are so right, I hadn't noticed that before. Definitely not as good as having lightroom stitch it together, but I just wanted to try it out. Thanks! Dude yeah, it would be so fun to hike around in the canyon sometime!

You could say that it was an aptly named National Park! Great shot dude.

Haha I would agree with that statement! Thanks man.

Wow, that's truly breathtaking view! BTW congrats to winner @aweber.

Agreed, it was so amazing!

Man, that is lame! I’d be roaming around there even if it was -40! Haha

Haha agreed! I guess not everyone is quite as adventurous unfortunately .

I never think to try pano shots. I really should. I'm heading out to the hills this weekend. Maybe i'll give it a shot.

Yeah, that place....just don't know how to capture it. I think a panorama might be the best you can do! Better just to go there and see it for yourself thank you look at photos. :)

I'm giving busy a go, it seems really good when it comes to keeping up with the feed but it's always a bit weird changing platform! I'll probably use both for a while! I imagine this is a pretty rad place to visit, would love to see it sometime, I hear it's quite the drive but worth it!
