Here's a collection of images taken over the last couple of years in one of the most
extraordinary places I've ever had the pleasure of spending time. Havasu
Canyon and its legendary waterfalls and blue-green waters is one of the
true gems of the Grand Canyon. I can say, without exception, the colors of this
incredible watershed are the most saturated I've ever experienced. The Havasupai
are wonderful hosts; the campground (at the right time of year) is uncrowded &
peaceful; the place is just totally conducive to creativity. If you like waterfalls,
intense colors & amazing light, recreational hiking & swimming, living
under the stars in another world, go sometime . . .


Enjoy . . .

Derek,

I'm sure you don't need any of us to tell you these are outrageously impressive. It looks like you had plenty of time to work the landscape, as these seem fairly comprehensive. My jaw hit the floor on more than a few of them. Very nice. Interested to know what part of fall you were there, as the colors are just phenomenal.

Derek... thanks for sharing. It is always a pleasure to view images as beautiful as these are.

Derek, a wonderful series of a breathtaking area. It's very high on my list, and I think it just moved up a couple of notches! All are very well done!

Kevin

Wonderful set, indeed, Derek!
What a great find. The view and atmosphere in the 3rd I especially like!

Barry

Incredible images, I have visited your Pbase site many times. Would love to come along on your trips sometime.

Gorgeous shots, definitely on my list of places to get to.

AJ

What a fine, beautiful series. They are all terrific photos, and those I am most sensitive to are 7, 9 and the last one, for their immensely pleasing reflections.
Absolutely well done !

Stunning set. I never tire of seeing shots of Havasu. Numbers 1, 3 and 4 are particularly engrossing.

echos what othes just said.
How long is the hiking to get to this place?

Great series, Derek. Superb work.

These are simply wonderful Derek. My personal favourites are the close-up waterfall images with the bright yellow fall reflections.

Sean

Nice series. Brilliant colours of both water and foilage. Havasu is one of my favourite place, especially in the fall.

Roger

Wow, some really great shots. Makes me want to jump in and veg out in the water...

Beautiful, they are all so wonderful it is hard to pick a favorite.

Wow, some really great shots. Makes me want to jump in and veg out in the water...

Probably no better place in the world to do just that! I usually like to spend at least half a day there in trunks, water shoes, hiking, jumping off the ledges and swing ropes and swimming between deep crystal clear pools.

Aaaahhhhh, heaven!!

Exquisite collection, Derek.

Al B

Great Eye, Great Images. Were they shot with the 1Ds?

Hi Derek,
Can I add my praise to the many others above. Every one of these images is a stunner, worthy of printing big and hanging on the wall. The water in each is fantastic
Well done.

Derek,i`m in awe,stunning photography.

Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful comments.

Many have PM'd for info on how to and when to and my suggestion is to first go check out the dates (on each image) in my three Havasu galleries on my pbase site:

The composition, exposure and colors of all of these photos are A++. What kind of post processing if any did you do.
