  • This week I had the opportunity to photograph the Grand Canyon while I was in Arizona. We drove up just before sunrise to catch it right at the moment the sun came up - amazing experience.

    I missed the part where you talked about how to photograph the grand canyon. Got a bunch of add info on your friends, but still don't know how.

    • @70hibby

      Agreed, watched the full video and no info on how to photograph the GC.

  • @Yurkevich22
    @Yurkevich22 Před 5 lety +5

    soo, it's supposed to be a how-to video, but I didn't learn anything about how to photograph the canyon. It was just a vlog about how you visited the place and your thoughts about it. Would have been great to actually see some tips, ideas, locations, camera settings, etc.

  • @JDubyafoto
    @JDubyafoto Před 6 lety +14

    You need to do the North Rim sometime. It's even more outstanding, although much more difficult to photograph. The Alpine meadows on the road in to the main site are magnificent! Aspens and pines everywhere. September or October is the best time for the North Rim in my opinion.

    Can you tell me the specific song on Epidemic Sound that you used on the video please? I share your love and awe for the Grand Canyon.

    The Grand Canyon is amazing, saw it as a teenager, when my Mother and a small group went cross country, from Brooklyn, NY to California and back via a Dodge Dart pulling a trailer. The colors of the Canyon is unbelievable and we were only armed with a 8mm movie camera and a instamatic camera, which I have had digitally formatted. I gave myself an assignment, My 8MM Project, creating mini movies from these home movies.....your video brought back a flood of memories of that trip. Hope to see more of your trips.

    Got to the North Rim about a decade ago. [I think it is not accessible in winter.] Highly recommend this as the crowd factor is significantly reduced. Your video reminded me its time to get back. Thanks!

  • @johnkraemer5505
    @johnkraemer5505 Před 6 lety +1

    Yes! The Grand Canyon is amazing! To really experience it.... You have to get down into the Canyon for a week or longer!

    Love this so much Ted!!! Wow. Taking photos with a Phase One in Grand Canyon must have been absolutely surreal!

  • @BillFerris
    @BillFerris Před 6 lety +3

    Ted, so glad you had an opportunity to visit and photograph the Canyon. As you said, being there, seeing and experiencing it in person is a truly spiritual experience.
    I recommend you add a River trip through the Canyon to your bucket list. When you go, check out Adam Scallau's guided trips for photographers. Adam is a fantastic Flagstaff landscape photographer and has, in recent years, started offering a guided River trip through the Canyon for photographers. Adam's a great guy and I'm sure you'd love the experience.
    Of course, something like that is a significant time commitment. It your next visit is limited to just a few days on the North or South Rim - perhaps some day hiking part way into the canyon - let me know and I'll be happy to share with you some of my favorite photographic spots.
    Enjoy the Holidays!

    In 1972, aged 14, I visited the Grand Canyon and you have expressed in this video exactly how I felt when I stood on the rim and looked out over the canyon. It is totally breathtaking! As a vista I don't think I have seen or experienced anything like it since. Ted, thanks for stiring up a happy and awesome memory!!

  • @RodClark
    @RodClark Před 6 lety +2

    Great video Ted! So glad we were able to go shoot The Grand Canyon together. 9 degrees Fahrenheit first thing in the morning is pretty chilly, but it was such a magical experience to be there at first light, it didn't matter how cold it was. Next trip, we're going to Yosemite! See you soon!

  • @laurielavallee411
    @laurielavallee411 Před 6 lety

    If you do go back, plan ahead and hike the north rim to the south rim. You can stay at phantom ranch but plan ahead as reservations are hard to make and a year out, usually. Anyway, the sights you will see will be awe inspiring. As I was crossing the suspension bridge, leaving phantom ranch, we were blessed with a double rainbow over the Clolorado River. Amazing! We hiked it in October and it was perfect, other than the rain that was pelting us on the way up. That didn’t even spoil the experience. Please treat yourself to this remarkable trek.

    This is a great time to visit the Park ‘cuz fewer people. The day/night temp differential can be extreme, so being prepared for it is a must.

    I was there for the first time this past Thanksgiving weekend. I was blown away at the sheer cliffs right on the rim trail and at the lookout points. Looks like you were setup at Mather Point? I will say...unlike you, the cloud gods favored me during my visit a few weeks ago.

  • @chrisi1920
    @chrisi1920 Před 6 lety +1

    Even a bad photo of the Grand Canyon takes my breath away, the experience is that powerful. You did pretty good for the first exposure and a one time visit. I still haven't seen any single image that really sums it up. For a quick assignment, we could share our images with you to show what we've done with the challenge.

    Ted, I'm curious why you had the WCC kit on your camera at that time of the day and for that subject matter? Which filters did you have on it? Thanks.

    • @theartofphotography

      Circular polarizer and a grad filter to darken the sky on some shots.

  • @ericpmoss
    @ericpmoss Před 6 lety

    I've only hiked down to Phantom Ranch on Kaibab trail and back up on Bright Angel trail. Based on that, Ooh Aah Point is the best by far, but I really recommend staying at Phantom Ranch and walk up the WPA-built path through the Box to Ribbon Falls. It's a good thing.

    @martin-4193 Před 6 lety

    Looks like you were shooting with the Phase I. Question there is: did you need this extra dynamic range or is it more or less wasted, because you used ND Filters?

  • @Beakerzor

    @JohnDrummondPhoto Před 6 lety

    I'm going to the Grand Canyon for the second time, next week. My first visit, in 2009, was the reason I finally bought a digital SLR. My Fuji all-in-one was pretty good for snap shooting. But once I saw my Grand Canyon images, I knew I'd never do the canyon justice with it. I've worked up to a 5DM4 with L lenses and Lee filters. I'm thinking Yaki Point would be a good spot for sunrise. Do you know exactly where you shot from? Thanks.

  • @Bob4golf1

    I really liked this video, and enjoyed Ted sharing his Grand Canyon experience with us. But I never found out what he meant by "Deeper Pixels", and I thought that was something that was going to be explained at some point. What are deep pixels??? I am still waiting to find out.

  • @AegidPhoto
    @AegidPhoto Před 6 lety +3

    The title is kind of misleading,I think. I`d also say :too much form over content. The production is great ,but the content used to be better. A fan since 2011.
