Upper Antelope Canyon

[JimFox]

Traveling on my way to Colorado and Doug’s Stud Horse Point photo the other day inspired me to see if I could get into Upper Antelope Canyon as it’s has been a few years since I was last there.

It’s a bit different with Covid, but I still had a fun time on the tour and I think I got some good photos. Here are the only 2 I took on my iPhone as I was busy with my DSLR’s.

All comments are welcomed,

Jim

Nice pair of shots. I like the first one with the subtle range of tones and light.

Do the guides still throw sand all over the place to make the sun beams stand out?

I prefer #1 as well with the stripes of light and dark. The phone images came out surprisingly well for being in a slot canyon, though I guess being at f/2.2 or whatever helps

Thanks Alan!

Yep, they still throw sand! Of course the dust is the only way to get the light beams to really stand out.

Thanks Tim, I am glad you liked them. #2 is my favorite.

Were you able to take a tripod? These are really nice image.

Those are pretty nice for a iPhone capture. The phone cameras have come a real long way.

No tripods allowed in Upper or Lower anymore, you have to handhold. But… I just got done in Canyon X, it’s part of the same slot system, and it was totally awesome, and you can take a tripod. They have a 3 hour photo tour, I was the only one on it today. Super cool. I will be doing Canyon X again.

Thanks Jameel! I think the iPhone shots looked better then my older DSLR photos from the tours I took years ago. It’s too bad I only took 2 photos…

Nice, Jim. I can't wait to see the Canyon X images.

Nice, Jim. I can't wait to see the Canyon X images.

Thank you so much Doug!

Jim,
You should have let me know you were in Page because I was in Page yesterday. I shot a different slot canyon that I just posted.
