Grand Canyon Shooting Tips... HELP!!!

TexPhotog

So thanks to where I work (travel co. in Vegas), I get comps to try the different tours to the canyon, both west and south rims...

But every time I've been there, there always seem to be a haze to my shots that I need to fix in post...

Has anyone else experienced this also???

Tips and suggestions as to how to fix and/or improve on this is greatly appreciated, as I'll be going back by the end of March...

Thanks...

There are many folks who have far more expericen than I. Here is what I did (or done elsewhere):
1) Shoot early. I was there in mid-June and forget "mid-day sun" everything was washed out by 7:00am
2) Bracket Bracket Bracket. Fix in Post Production.

I have also used filters: Graduated ND and Polarizing

And don't forget to give yourself plenty of time. I went to the North Rim and drove in from Jacob's Lake. At 3:30am. Because AZ doesn't do Daylight Savings Time. So twilight is at like 4:45am and sunrise is at 5:15am. And you may have to hike into position, not just drive up and shoot.
