Hi Ian,
I did about the same thing this summer, covering California, Nevada, Utah and (a very small part of) Colorado in little over 3 weeks. I made a similar trip 4 years ago (although we went further north back then, to see Yellowstone) and I'm sure I'll return again - there's just so much to see. Even if you do a lot of research before you start, there's no way you're going to be able to see more than a tiny bit of the beauty that the South-West US has to offer.

This shot takes my breath away Arjan, back in
1981 my family and I toured around California,
Nevada and Arizona by car for nearly 4 weeks,
I am kicking myself I never did enough research
on the trip as obviously we missed a lot of great
scenery over there, not that I was into photography at that
time. Anyway what a great image.
Regards Ian
Brisbane, Australia

Nick, I'll work on that too.

This is what the sky really looked like. |

Pretty good capture. Sometimes the landscape is more than the lens can capture.

I am a geologist and a weather forecaster, so your shot appealed to me on both counts!
If you'r reworking the image, maybe clone out the obstruction in the bottom-centre - or am I being TOO fussy!

Good composition, Arjan, to include both the fantastic scenery of the cliffs and river, as well as the approaching storm.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your comments! I immediately agree with you about the right hand side of the river, however I only noticed this after I returned home. I have about 20 of these shots, and somehow I managed to miss that side of the river on all of them. Shame on me. The horizon - now that you mention it - yes, you'ew definitely right on that too.
I have some underexposed shots of the sky that I could try to overlay with this one, I'll post a new version if I ever succeed in doing that.
A little secret - this photo is already two photos stitched together (vertically). The lens is fantastic indeed, but wasn't quite wide enough on my D60.
Thanks again, Arjan

Hi Arjan
Great dramatic shot, but it could be improved a bit if you:
1. do not clip the river on the RHS
2. the horizon looks a little crooked
3. the sky is as dramatic as the canyon, but it is overexposed and there is not enough of it.
You used a great lens (I have one!), so maybe you could have made a panorama of several portrait shots and stitched them together?
Great effort anyway - congratulations.. Nick
