True on that!

Grand Canyon South Rim at Sunset. Tmax100 4x5, 75mm Nikkor@f/32. Shot July 2018.

Hauled myself out of bed at 4am yesterday, drove 1.5 hours north and then hiked about 30 minutes to this spot (hiking at maximum speed because I could tell that the best light was already passing, normally takes more like an hour). Unfortunately I missed the lovely pre-sunrise glow but I like the shot anyway, I thought you'd be able to see more of the birds flying around the rocks but the waves in the background are too chaotic for them to stand out.

Shot on Portra 400 with my Chamonix 4x5 and a Fuji 135mm lens.

Good thing my camera was anchored down or it would have flew away.

Didn't think of that. Nice coincidence!
