I guess it depends on how far you are willing to drive. I would suggest 1. June Lake loop (20 mins) - just for casual drive 2. Convict Lake (40 mins) - This is also very good place to shoot the ...

Lovely composition and processing!! It's also amazing how clean the image is when it was shot with a crop sensor. Better than my full frame! I actually prefer out of focus foreground. I've never ...

Thank you for the kind words. Oh..I did not know Bolivia is also at higher altitude. It's on my bucket list. Hope it was not too bad for him.

Oh!! speaking of astro! I've been to Death Valley and other dark sights many many times, but Grand Canyon North Rim was the darkest!! Have fun :-)

Thank you! I think North Rim has full range views. There are scenes for 16mm ~ 200mm. I think you should be fine with 21mm. Focal lengths from the top to the bottom 1st: 17mm 2nd: 15mm, but ...

That's interesting to know. I did not know that part of Houston sits below sea level. I think my dehydration made it worse. I had two large americano that day without knowing that dehydration ...

Thank you for the kind words maple. I think it really depends. July~September is monsoon season for both South and North. You might get spectacular clouds, but it can also be just flat and rain. ...

Thank you!

Thank you Bill. That's interesting to hear. It sounds anyone can suffer from altitude sickness whether they live at the lower elevation or not. Yeah, it was my first time suffering from altitude ...

I was told that it is somewhat rare to get altitude sickness at the North Rim although..wikipedia shows that 20% of people get altitude sickness at above 8,000 feet. Looking at the tripadvisor ...

Thank you! I really enjoyed it too. It was somewhat unexpected. I would love to visit North Rim again in Fall. I heard that its color is wonderful during the fall season. I actually slept a few ...

Thank you! I wish I could get more of the base too, but the angle was somewhat impossible unless I really risked my life. There was a rock at the left side that blocks the scene if I try to get ...

Thank you. I got lucked out. It was very cloudy, but light was somewhat good for the scene. It was no fun. It was my first time experiencing it and I was somewhat scared as it takes 2 hours to get ...

I just came back from 4 days trip to North Rim, AZ. It was somewhat unplanned trip. I tried to reserve campgrounds and motels a few weeks before, but they were all fully booked. I checked ...

Not exactly sure what the fine is, but the law has been changed. It is now illegal to sleep in a car/tent unless you are in a campground. There are many questions and answers in tripadvisor forum.

Wow..those are wonderful images. Storm changing is on my bucket list. How did you research? It sounds very interesting that you travelled 8 states. What was the reason behind it? and How/when did ...

I really like #1. Yeah, it's not those wow!!!! shots during the sunset/sunrise, but it is certainly an interesting shot. Green + sand dune (is it..?) + watch tower with two people for sense of ...

Thanks!

Thank you! Well, these are not so secret spots. They are really well known :) I always prefer GPS coordinates myself as it make easier to plan things around.

Finally a place I know well (I live in L.A) enough to help. I would recommend two places for skyline shots. 1. Mt Hollywood Trail for sunrise/sunset This is about a mile or so hike from Griffith ...
