Folks on our recent trip we had a brief visit to the Grand Canyon. The
weather went downhill rapidly and we ended up with barely an hour and a half
in place rather than the day we had planned.
We did get to see a small part of the rim as it doesn't commonly appear. -
20 Celsius means some snow and ice and closing airports and freezing ears
and fingers for the under-prepared sub-tropical Aussies.
For the record the M8 did not stutter once, in and out of my jacket, battery
and card change in the middle. On the other hand I skidded on the ice and
took my daughter for a little mini toboggan. 
I largely used the Zeiss 18 with also the superb Summicron 28 ASPH.
Hyperfocal means warmer fingers too.These 8 shots are a tough edit from 116.
