I've shot a lot in Colorado, beginning in the early seventies, but for some
reason, I've never been to Grand Junction that I can remember. Anyway, I
find that Velvia or something like it is highly necessary. The amount of
haze there has increased notably over the years I've been shooting there. I
read somewhere that, for example, the Four Corners power plant puts out a
stream of pollution that covers many states, and can be seen from space.
I've not noticed any improvement since Denver started using special
gasoline.
I also generally use a 1A or 81A filter there.
