A sandfall in Upper Antelope Canyon, Page, Arizona, April 2010, which I finally got around to post-processing in 2013 using Adobe Lightroom 5. Although many DSLRs set the color temperature of the light in these canyons as being extremely warm (orange), there's actually a wide range of light from reflected orange light to much cooler light coming directly from the blue sky above, if you select your white balance settings carefully. Taking control of color temperature isn't unique to digital photography though; photos from this canyon taken using Velvia or Provia film often reveal a similar wide range of tones. My G+ post of another photo from this canyon in October included a lengthy discussion of perceptual and post-processing considerations:

This looks really great, +Jeff Sullivan! You have ensured a wonderful play of light.
It's true about the light. A lot of people were surprised at the different colors they saw in the video I filmed there this year. I loved the contrast between the blues and the oranges.
If only my photography reaches this level of perfection. Jeff. These are truly inspiring, and thank you for sharing your amazing work. Happy new year to you !!
I could easily say the same about your high contrast, long exposure architecture shots +Swee Oh. You've been rocking your camera this year!
