Antelope Canyon Color

November 03 2008

Image of the Month

November’s image, Antelope Canyon Color I, was taken in Upper Antelope Canyon in Northern Arizona.  Located outside of Page, Arizona, Antelope Canyon is a photographer’s paradise.  Carved from Navajo sandstone, Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons are narrow slot canyons with spectacular color and light.  Over the years, water flowing through the canyons has carved these narrow passages into what they are.  These canyons are popular photography workshop sites as the subject matter is virtually limitless and the photography a real challenge.  A tripod is a must, as exposure times are usually several seconds or longer.  This image was taken tripod mounted with a 24-70 mm f/2.8 lens at 2.5 seconds at f/10, which gave me enough depth of field to bring out the detail in multiple layers of the sandstone.  During the month of November, this image is available at a 20% discount off of my standard print prices.
