You Incredible!

This photos is called "You Incredible" the image is part of a weekly assignment for my business of photography course.The goal is to capture yourself in an amazing location. In this photograph I am out taking a break from a long hike up a mountain located at redrock. This hike at Red Rock Canyon near Las Vegas, Nevada is a study in contrast. You are always in the Mojave Desert, but it looks markedly different depending on your elevation and the amount of precipitation the area gets. With the White Rock Loop, you see typical desert plants. On the west side of the mountain, hidden from the Scenic Drive. My friends an I decided to start the hike early in the morning and a couple hours in we where at a location which strangely had a lot of grass. I normally dont take hike but this little journey was a uniques experience. Im not a very out door type of person so prepping for the trip I wasnt sure what exactly to bring. For the most part my camera was one of the essential items in my bag followed by some snack and water. It was cold that day so I decided to where my long sleeve shirt which by the time the sun came up it was extremely hot. This image was taken with my 24-70 mm L series canon lense. My buddy william not to familiar with how to use the camera had a bit of a learning curve. But after a short period of trying to figure out the camera I just took the camera and set it up for him so all he needed to do was to press the shutter button. I would definetly go back to this location because there is a large amount of green plants which is rare to see in nevada. Next time maybe Ill bring a umbrella because there was littlery no shade the whole hike.
