Light of the World - a photo on Flickriver

Light of the World

            Look at what wind and water erosion can do.
We were very fortunate to visit Upper Antelope Canyon during the midweek and at mid-day just a few weeks ago. I was purposely looking for a noon time slot because I heard the light pours into the canyon better. Only 4-5 months out of the year does the light shoot through the canyon like I captured it in one of the images below. I have to say our guide for this tour was absolutely phenomenal. She showed us many great angles and took an enormous amount of time allowing us to get our shots. We both came away just floored at this amazing slot canyon. If you were ever on the fence about doing Antelope Canyon, it has to be a resounding yes from me. I've seen negative reviews about how they rush people through it but it was not the case for us.
They don't allow "photography only" tours anymore nor do they allow tripods. Many of the areas were very dark. I was shooting enormous high ISO settings. Looking back on it there would have been some things I would have done differently with my photography tactics but I'm happy with some of the images I was able to obtain. Hope you enjoy.
