I’m more proud of these photographs than any others I’ve taken. Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in Northern Arizona (near Page). It’s actually on an Indian reservation and thus you must pay for a guide to escort you to the canyon. Most of the photographers that I’ve studied through my journey have photographed this location. One unique aspect is that the best time to shoot is high noon. This defies most rules of lighting for landscape photographer, but as you’ll see in these pictures the sun rays shoot through the slots and make this a magical setting.
We took a family trip to the Grand Canyon about 3 years ago and I came very close to making a side trip to Antelope Canyon. At the time I decided my photography wasn’t ready, but this was a place I knew I wanted to visit. This time when a trip presented itself, I couldn’t pass it up. Hope you enjoy these pictures, these are my favorites!
