Always beautiful work. I just returned from Death VAlley and was in awe of this type of landscapes. You do them justice :) I love all of this set of the Grand Canyon.

Hi Annemette,
Yes there is snow there often in the winter, as it is at a high altitude of 7000 ft. The bottom of the canyon is around 2000 ft and can be 98F degrees while the top is -10 degrees. It is an amazing place one of many in Arizona.

I like the composition of the old tree against the sky and lighting on the rock face, Tim!

Tim:
And while we are on the subject:
Another photographer is William Henry Jackson. He photographed Yellowstone and helped sell the Natinal Park Service. You might say you were shooting the Grand Canyon in some small way due to his work.
He was seriously old school - he used glass plates with chemistry by hand, and large format cameras. He had to haul his darkroom with him. It took a team of 5-7 men with mules to carry the equipment. He also did not have a light meter... just look at Wikipedia to get a sense of the adventures.

Tim:
I will be sending on these links to my friend at work. Thanks for posting them, she appreciates all the work for looking for Grand Canyon shots. The funeral was yesterday and she'll be contacting you.
As to the F/64 group - you should really read up on them, I think of you as carrying on their tradition. Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham, et. al.
Here is the Group f/64 Manifesto:
"The name of this Group is derived from a diaphragm number of the photographic lens. It signifies to a large extent the qualities of clearness and definition of the photographic image which is an important element in the work of members of this Group.
The chief object of the Group is to present in frequent shows what it considers the best contemporary photography of the West; in addition to the showing of the work of its members, it will include prints from other photographers who evidence tendencies in their work similar to that of the Group.
Group f/64 is not pretending to cover the entire of photography or to indicate through its selection of members any deprecating opinion of the photographers who are not included in its shows. There are great number of serious workers in photography whose style and technique does not relate to the metier of the Group.
Group f/64 limits its members and invitational names to those workers who are striving to define photography as an art form by simple and direct presentation through purely photographic methods. The Group will show no work at any time that does not conform to its standards of pure photography. Pure photography is defined as possessing no qualities of technique, composition or idea, derivative of any other art form. The production of the 'Pictorialist', on the other hand, indicates a devotion to principles of art which are directly related to painting and the graphic arts.
The members of Group f/64 believe that photography, as an art form, must develop along lines defined by the actualities and limitations of the photographic medium, and must always remain independent of ideological conventions of art and aesthetics that are reminiscent of a period and culture antedating the growth of the medium itself.
The Group will appreciate information regarding any serious work in photography that has escaped its attention, and is favorable towards establishing itself as a Forum of Modern Photography."

Snow on the Grand Canyon? Amazing colours due to the beautiful warm sunlight and the tones of the canyon. The snow makes a good contrast and creates good harmony with the colours of the sky. Those two layers are broken nicely in the middle by the Canyon.
Best wishes
Annemette

Oh my goodness! This is amazing Tim. You should have joined the F64 Group. Superb hyperfocal image and amazing colours. I think that only a painter can see compositions like this.
Nice balance between the foreground and background, the snow really redeems,and otherwise dark foreground.
Excellent!
Francisco
