I'm planning on spending a week in Arizona spanning Easter. I'll be with my wife, so it's not a pure photographic trip. We're going to be staying for couple of days near the Grand Canyon, a couple in Page, one at The View and one in Sedona on the way back to Phoenix.
I'm wondering about a helicopter flight over the GC: is it worth it from a photographic point of view?
Obviously, Antelope (upper and lower) are on the list, as is Horseshoe Bend. I gather that lower Antelope is good in the morning and upper at around noon: when is the best time for the Bend? If I turn up at the Ranger post reasonably early, do I stand any realistic chance of getting a ticket for The Wave?
I've booked Daniel's Tours for a four-hour early morning trip around Monument Valley.
Any other specific suggestions? I have Martres books.
I'm going to be using my 5d2. I have the 24-105/f4. I can hire a 16-35/f2.8II for about £100: am I likely to benefit from having it? Part of me says that for £100, SNT (Silly Not To) but it is something else to carry.
Any tips gratefully received.
