Looking Up – Slot Canyon Abstract

It is difficult for me to title these views from Lower Antelope Canyon outside of Page Arizona, but it was not difficult to be inspired to take images in this unusual place. At every step there was a new view to explore. This image is taken looking up past a shelf and into a more sunlit area. Through out the canyon there are areas of small fringed nests. I enjoyed capturing them in the photos to create some additional interest.

The Six Utah Trekkers returned on Monday after just over a week in various parts of Utah and just over the boarder into Arizona – Jerry Koenig, Connie Wade, Mike Sugar, Suzanne Tanaka, Chick Lehrer (well, he’s not a photographer) and myself. Here are some of my first images off the press.

This image was taken in the Lower Antelope Canyon just outside of Page Arizona. The canyon was just incredible and at almost every step there was another incredible view. I shot mostly using 3-exposure bracketing to manage both the highlights and the shadows. This one is a subtle HDR mix. I particularly like all the striations on the rock in this section of the canyon.
