hello john, what I would do, and I am not that good. use my camera meter and meter off the brightest part.then meter off the shadows and split the difference. 9 am or 5 pm is my guess for the best light.i haven't been there so it is just a guess.if it's cloudy I would think anytime. i am also hoping that someone else posts so I can actually learn something. sam

If you have Photoshop you can make several exposures and combine them in Photoshop. Another option would be a split ND filter but those aren't ideal with uneven canyon walls. Here's a link to a tutorial that explains how to combine them. Just Google the subject and you can come up with other sites explaining it as well. http://photography.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.dpandi.com/mitch/blended.html
