Headed up to do both upper and lower AC as well as Coalmine in early August.
Plan is Upper on a 10 AM photo tour (2 1/2 hours); back to Page for a quick lunch; back to do about 4 hours in Lower AC (where we've been before and know the drill) and then on to Coalmine for sunset. If the monsoon gods cooperate it should be super.
We been to LAC and Coalmine before, but not to UAC (and prior trip was in winter). Last time I carried 2 XSi's with a 24-105L on one and a 10-22S on the other. This time I have only one XSi with me and am not inclined (due to dust) to change lenses in the canyons. So, which lens do you recommend as the best lens for each canyon understanding both the differences between the canyons and the time of day we'll be at each?
I've recently seen some great shots here taken in both canyons with a longer lens (70-110mm) at:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/lo...-Canyons.shtmlbut know that the general advice is to go wide.
During the winter when I carried both, I tended to use the 24-105 more, though I kept to the wide end of its range. Never having been to UAC and knowing I should be there for the beams I'm just not sure. Thoughts from those who have been there? (Of course, change lenses between UAC and LAC is no problem at all, should that be what I decide to do).
Thanks
Stephanie
