Slot Canyon Beauty

The slot canyons of Arizona and Uath are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. This one was taken in lower Antelope Canyon outside of Page, Az. The light levels tend to be very low so exposure times are long and a tripod is a must. My first effort of taking images in slot canyons was done on film. At least for me, it was always a matter of holding my breath until the film got back to see if my exposures where right. I now do mostly digital photography so you know what you got right away.

The Eye

This is a shot from Lower Antelope Canyon outside of Page Arizona. I call it The Eye but it could also be called Birds Head. Slot canyons are one of those overshot icons of the Southwest but they are still a wonderful place to visit and photograph. The light is constantly changing not only during the day but by season as well. Upper and Lower Antelope are the two most famous slot canyons but there are numerous others in the Southwest. I have also visited Water Holes, Spooky and Peek a Boo. Give them a visit someday.
