Time of Year: Late June
Time of Day: Mid afternoon
Light Condition: Reflected from canyon wall
Film: Fujichrome Velvia
Lens: 24mm (with cropping)

The entire frame shows the whole Treasury (the ruin in the background) and more foreground. My intention was to use a wide angle lens and crop out the lower part of the frame to simulate a shift lens (to avoid keystoning, or converging vertical lines). I later found that an tighter composition worked better, so I cropped the image. The resulting perspective is more like 50mm.
