I got the tripod-remote shutter but have been having a brain talk about filters with myself. UV sky 10 polarized are some I have. What is your thoughts. Thank you for the response.

Thank you for the reply. I went to a local camera store. The two clerks got into a discussion of wide angle and telephoto. I come down on the side of wide angle but can't afford the 10-24 they wanted to sell me.

Yeah that would be good. Also check on this FILTERs I have couple of these filters (not all coz some I don't need much) that really help me a lot when on an assignment. Try to review some of it and if it really needs or will help you on your scene then I recommend. Smile

I my self would check other sites that have people who have been where you are going first. Then check out what they used for lenses and even filters and see if there are some that may fit your bill, it seems that if others have used one length of lens or another then that is what maybe you may have to use if you want the same desired affect. I have been in the area before and I will say there is so much to see and shot that the one thing I would be worried about is the storage cards or a back up system.
BTW: How about a pano Lenses for the area has more to see at one time that the camera may pick uo in one click of the shutter??? Have fun it is a very photogenic area mostly during sunrise and during sunsets.

I would add a ND8 filter to the list. I should think you are more likely to suffer from too much light rather than too little.

I am not sure but this site has a lot on the Bryce and Zion Canyons. maybe worth a look at just a suggestion.

Why use a 'pano' lense????
Take a series of overlapping images and stitch them together into a panorama.
Even in portrait orientation.
Just make sure you are set for MANUAL exposure, so it's the same across all the images.
