April 15, 2022. 6:15 PM. — Jean & I were walking along Rim Trail in the Mather Point area which offers many scenic views of the canyon. At this spot I noticed the Moon had just risen. The long shadows of the soon to be setting sun were extending up the canyon and the late afternoon sunlight was setting all the high points in the canyon aglow with warm light. Zoroaster and Brama Temples are seen just right of center on the horizon. At this location Juniper trees at the top of the rim provided nice foreground so I sat my camera rig up and shoot this focus stacked wall mural panorama.

This is an focus stacked image shot bracketed with Canon R5, Canon 70-200mm lens at 200mm, f/11, 1/125th sec. exposure, ISO 400. It is made up of 878 Focus Bracketed images processed to yield 114 individual Focus Stacked images, 6 rows x 19 columns 30% overlap in portrait orientation.
