Grand Canyon Trip

Was pretty disappointed with this trip at first because the visibility was all of 2 miles, it's usually 131 miles. By the last few hours of our trip it cleared up and I got some clear shots. I've been told the cloud pictures make it cool because it's different from the shots most people are use to seeing of the canyon. Also at the end there are some pictures I took around Flagstaff on the way back home. C&C welcome.

It didn't help that I took these using auto settings. I never took the time to learn basic manual settings on my camera until a few months ago.

Yes, these can be much improved with some good post process. Some Levels Adjustment layers applied to certain areas can make these real nice. One quick way to cut thru some of the haze is to apply a USM with a setting of 20-50-0.
Did you shoot these with your Oly or Nikon? I'll be shooting with my Oly E3 and Canon 5DmkII.
Thanks Yea these were taken at the South Rim, you will get some fantastic shots from the North Rim. We had some friends that were up by the North Rim the same weekend we were at the South Rim. Much more open views for sure.
I shot these with my Olympus.

Actually even though it was through a window...I like this shot the best
Thanks! We had just driven through the worst storm I had ever been in and driving in storms..specially with hail down a mountain always makes me tense so I opted out of stopping the truck and getting out. It was the first time I had seen where the rain was actually falling all the way to the ground. I have always seen the walls of rain coming down, but they were usually obstructed by buildings or mountains so I thought it was pretty cool.

Thank you! I really want to go back now that I know the basics of manual settings.
