Red Rabbit Report post Posted April 17, 2012 I drove through my elk unit this weekend, but was stopped where the river washed away the road Park Service says the road to the north rim will be open May 15, but I do not see how they can rebuild the bridge so quickly as even the abutments are gone. I met with another photographer from Flagstaff to catch the winter storm at the Grand Canyon. Late afternoon brought a back-lit snow squall and blue tones to the canyon. Sunday morning, I had serious doubts of seeing sunlight in the canyon due to the fallen snow and low clouds, but the curtains of clouds did part and rise for a nice show. Pipe Creek makes a nice leading V into the canyon. O'Neill Butte on Cedar Ridge catches some spotlighting. A few more images are posted on the last page of the Grand Canyon photo gallery if you wish to view. http://www.plateaulightphotography.com/Landscapes/Doug-Koepsel-Photography/11289820_sF3LGX#!i=1798443700&k=N4q77qg Doug~RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted April 17, 2012 Nice. That top one is very cool! What is your secret in keeping your pictures so sharp and colorful, yet keeping them at 2MB for uploading to the website? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted April 17, 2012 Brent, these files are only about 300kb and 800 pixels wide. I sharpen for the web before uploading the image to Photobucket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted April 17, 2012 Wow. Those are great resolution pics for such a small file size. I only have a 12.1MP Canon SX20 Powershot, it's only a $400 camera, but it's decent. I need to learn to manipulate the smaller JPEG's into great photo's like you have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
