Zion, Bryce, & Grand Canyon North Rim

Hey all,

I just got back from a weeklong trip to Utah, a much needed vacation! I spent time in Bryce, Zion, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, and made a side trip to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park in Utah. Hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did taking them!

Technical details: all with the 5D and most with the 20mm f/2.8, my favorite lens

Great series...

3 of my favourite places in USA. Never got to the North Rim though,.... those shots are great. Did you manage to do Bryce at Sunrise? That's a must see!

EOSAddict,

Glad you like! They were quickly added to my favorite places too! I ddin't get to Bryce early enough, but am planning on it for the next trip. I really want to do some more hiking there too, I just didn't have the time this trip

Well, it's easier for you to get back there than me Was there in 2001 (pre digital!) and have 10 films of Veliva waiting to be scanned! In 2 weeks we did Vegas, Bryce, Zion, Kodachrome, Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon.... what an awesome holiday that was! I must dig out some scans!

Now I feel spoiled that all these places are merely a 6 hour drive from me. Practically in my own backyard.
Time for another weekend trip!

EOSAddict - get to scanning! I'm seriously planning the next trip up there. I could have explored that area for weeks!

Hehe... I dug a couple out last night from some I did ages ago.....

Don't want to crash your thread, but I posted a couple here...

No worries mate, good stuff there! I wish I had more time there to hike down amongst the hoodoos!

did you use any filters (gnd)? I'm planning on going to the South Rim next month.

I didn't on this trip, but I'd strongly advise it. I've been shopping for a set and didn't complete my final choices before I left. I really had to play with the exposure in-camera then tweak the shadows/highlights in PS to get exactly what I wanted. I'd also recommend a good UV/Haze filter, it'll help with the clarity. They'll be in the bag for my next trip!
