Great shot Steve. The scan looks pretty good. One thing. There's a vertical dark band on the right side just to the left of a lighter band along the edge. I also see vignetting too on both sides. Were you using a center filter?
Thanks!
That band is rain clouds. You get the these vertical winds out of the canyon that can cause vertical separation of clouds and rains. I have a black and white of the canyon with a storm that shows the same thing, but more pronuounced.
I did not use a center spot filer. Still want to get one though. How is yours working out for you?
I don't see the vignetting you are talking about. There are some parts in the bottom right and left that are at 0 simply because they were underexposed for this scene. There is literally no detail in them.
One thing about the canyon is it is really difficult to shoot. It has a mind of its own and most of the time dictates the image you will get vs you getting the image you want.
Thanks for the observations. I will look at what you perceive is vignetting and see what it is and if I can fix it if it needs fix.
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Epson V850 Scan. Some of the differences are in post-processing 2 years later.

There are a couple of areas I am may crop out when I go to print that I am not happy with.
