Prelude, that bird is amazing! Great job on that one!

I agree; awesome shot!

That's an incredible (and not very common) shot! Very nicely done! Did the crowds do you a favor by stopping? We have been going in September the last few years and the line moves to quickly for me, resulting in a frantic scramble to get the camera packed away before boarding. Would you mind sharing your settings for this one?

Very nice capture. You get 5 stars from me

Allen, stunning sunset!!! Love the effect of the silhouette of the bridge with the people on it

Thanks! Taken with my NEX-7 and Rokinon 8mm fisheye. The line was moving slow enough that I was able to place the camera on top of the fence. The small size and weight of the camera came in handy. I took a few more shots but this is my favorite.

For some reason I can't edit my last post - forgot the setting for the RRRC shot.

Settings - f/8, 1600 ISO, 1/20 sec, AWB

Thank you. The Rokinon is not a very big lens compared to my others so I am going to give that one my best shot next trip, courtesy of your inspiration

I am suitably impressed with the quality of the images from the NEX!! Think my D7000 body is going to be a bit more trick to pack away quickly based on past experience but I'm going to give it a go

Thank you for the settings

^^Loving the Grand Canyon shots!

I get nervous in these parks because I always see somebody doing something stupid. If you have never read "Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon" you should check it out.

You'll have fun with the fisheye just because you're never quite completely sure what it will look like until after you take the picture. I threw out many shots that I thought were going to be great and kept many that I almost decided not to take.

good luck with it!

I am enjoying my NEX 7. I had the NEX 3 first (still have it) and they are so easy to carry around in the parks. If Nikon can make a mirrorless version of their DSLRs it would be a homerun. Have fun on your trip!

Never read it but saw it in all the gift shops at the Grand Canyon. You'd think people would get the hint. I have lots more from the Grand Canyon, Arches and Canyonlands.

Thanks all about the comments on my bird photo. Some real killers posted today. Love the R&RC shot!

Love the lion!! Wow!

Awesome Splash Mountain ShadeRF

Here's the same (more or less) shot I took last week, taken again a bit later in the day this past weekend with the lights turned on. It looks so different
