The Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA, is notoriously hazy. Millions of photographers are frustrated year after year.

Compose your canyon photos carefully. Don't worry about the haze or shooting in the middle of the day in bright sunlight.

Open your images in Adobe Photoshop, or in the image editor of your choice. Do a SAVE AS, so you don't destroy your original picture files.

Use Photoshop's Levels, Curves, Exposure, and Auto menu item settings in Image/Adjustments. Play around. Be bold. Your canyon haze will go away and you'll be proud of your photographs.

In a future tutorial I'll explain how to use Photoshop menu items, with before and after examples. Note the first gallery image above is unenhanced, just as it came from my hand held consumer point and shoot pocket camera.

Be aware it's easier to adjust the rock formations than the skies. Hazy sky is problematic, especially with consumer camera photos.

Thanks for viewing this gallery, plus the other Nemo galleries and audiocasts.
