very well priced, 10 bucks a car, and it's raining.... I thought I
was getting away from the Oregon weather! It was raining on and off on
the way here from the Hoover Dam but was just overcast when Gary and I
was walking along the Canyon Rim. But once we got to the camp and
started setting up, it started coming down and hasn't stopped since.
We're hoping that it blows through overnight and clears up some in the
morning. Clouds are good for Landscape shots but rain isn't.... I'm
setting the alarm for 5:00 AM to get out to the rim for some dawn
pictures. But if I wake up and hear the rain coming down on my tent
like it is now, I'm going back to sleep.
As I've been typing this blog entry it's actually started to rain
harder. But no thunder n lightening so far. According to the weather
report there are supposed to be thunder showers the rest of the week.
If the weather doesn't cooporate, I'll just head up to southern Utah
where hopefully the weather will be better. I just can't believe that
I ran into rain in Arizona, isn't this area supposed to be hot and dry?
Greg on the go
Greg, those are some great shots. What's your secret to getting those rich colors? Is it the time of day that makes that much difference? Can't wait to get up there this fall.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the time of day makes a big difference. There is what is called, "The golden hour" which really is about 2 hours before the sun sets. I also use a Warming Circular Polarizer which helps a lot with bringing out the color in the sky and also whatever you are shooting. I also shoot in RAW so that I can use the software which came with my camera to do post processing. If you haven't tried shooting RAW and using the software which comes with your Nikon, give it a try. You'll be amazed at how much better your photos look after doing all the tweaking yourself.
