Vacations

 It is nice to go through vacation photos once you are home and already super-busy. Looking at the photos helps bring back some of the relaxation. The US has some incredible places to visit. We went to the Grand Canyon, Zion and areas around Page, Arizona. We took a tour into the famous slot canyons. I got some great photos, I included one in this post that shows what it was really like - full of other people wanting beautiful photographs. So I mostly shot above peoples heads, and so did everyone else. I tried to set up a tripod but it was just too busy. The photos are all handheld. Not bad... gotta love the 5D. This is my first group of photos... they make me want to go back.

Has anyone ever noticed that their 5D gets a little soft. I am going to send mine in for a "tune-up". It is soft or else I need new glasses. I hope everyone is having a great summer.

How wonderful you got to get away! WOW those are beautiful shots! What is that 4th image?

Love my 5D too! Let me know what the repair people say about the softness. Just curious.

Thank you. It is hard to take a bad shot in those beautiful areas. The fourth shot is the interior of the lookout tower at the visitor center on the east end of the Grand Canyon.
There was a fantastic view there, too. We had nice weather.

Hi Barbara. I hope all is well. The indoor shots inside the ballroom were done without flash. The shots in the hallway were bounced. And yes, one of the characteristics of the 5D is that images are a bit soft right out of the camera.
