Now that I have been there. Every picture of horseshoe bend doesn't do justice to just how large it really is.

I agree with you! I’ve seen awesome places that my photos are very lackluster

Part of being a photographer is just knowing you can't convey what it feels to be standing there taking in the grandeur of the view.

I bet you are a great one too. A shot that wide needs special lenses. 11mm on FF?

Thank you! I should have specified. Nikon D610, Rokinon 14mm f2.8 taken at f8

Really 14mm? Nice. I just checked my photos and realized I mainly was looking at the film sots which were 24mm, because its a film camera. My other one was 16mm and was quite close though I didn't get to this nice of a spot.

I was looking back and this was definitely taken with a 14mm but I think I cropped it a little. I took this is 2018 so it’s been awhile

Special as in wide angle and still rectilinear. On a camera that isn't standard at all especially with good glass. Phones have definitely come a long way though.

Same thing with the grand canyon. Sure everybody has seen pictures. But standing there was completely awe-inspiring

And they never show the incredibly stupid tourists sitting literally 1 foot from the edge. I saw several people almost fall in, like inches from dying all in about 20 minutes.

Facts. Its amazing people dont fall in on a daily basis there. We saw a guy jump the railing and trip. Inches from going in because he was going for a IG video or something. Ridiculous.
