This park received its name from the appearance of its red sandstone formations.
I used the Leica D-Lux 2’s 28mm wideangle lens and its 16:9 aspect ratio to produce an image relating the explosive burst of clouds at upper left to a similar outburst from a bush at lower right. The wideangle reach was essential in relating both top and bottom elements, yet keeping the sandstone formations caught between them at a reasonable size. A wider lens would make the red rocks and distant mountains too small to notice. A longer focal length would have cropped out either the cloud or the bush or both.
