What are three tips for an awesome budget trip to the Grand Canyon?
This is an answer I can’t reply. I didn’t organized my last trip to Grand Canyon so I could not give tips.
What type of camera did you bring? Any tips on shooting the Grand Canyon?
I would bring my professional Canon EOS Ds Mark III and a secondary camera, the Canon 600d. Also I would take some pictures (panoramas, instagrams) with my iPhone 5.
Since the Gran Canyon is one of the most photographed place of the earth people need to search and to took photos of things never photographed. When I went there I tried to take original and unique photos, I photographed people taking photos to the magical landscape of Gran Canyon: that’s original. I photographed a couple admiring the Canyon, I photographed the Canyon by taking the sky for 3/4 of the photo.
