The purpose of this 3D photograph is to attempt to impart to the viewer, a feeling of looking downward into the canyon from the rim. You can see the downhill layers of rock progressively appearing deeper and deeper, with the canyon floor far in the background depths below.

I shot the stereo pair used to create this image during our summer 2008 trip to the Grand Canyon. I shot quite a few stereo pairs during that trip, and just now getting around to producing these 3D images.
As always, if you don’t happen to have a pair of 3D glasses, you can view the 2D version here, but this version doesn’t even begin to impart the depth found in the 3D version.
