Tag: Antelope Canyon

Everyone has photos of Antelope Canyon, Page, AZ.  I wanted to try to make mine different.  These slot canyons are all over the place in the Southwest but Antelope is one of the more famous.  Quite an experience to visit.  Hard to photograph because of the tourists and it is very dark.  I used a P45+ from Phase One and some of my exposures were over 10 minutes long.  Patience is needed to shoot successfully and what you see in the picture is not necessarily what you see in the viewfinder.  This is one of the most see places.

Antelope Canyon is like a rite of passage for a photographer.  So many have been there and they go just to say they did it.  I am no exception, yet I think I go so I can get some magical different images.  Antelope Canyon is not to far from Page Arizona.  There is a lot of other cool stuff to shoot in the area but the slot canyons are the place that are truly special.  This image was shot on a Phase One P45+ with a 2 minute exposure.  The Phase One backs work great because they do long exposures so well.  It is dark in the slot canyons and the backs also have a great dynamic range allowing you to capture highlight areas and shadow details.  I may post another Antelope picture tomorrow.
