Antelope Canyon

 
Antelope Canyon is simply magical. From the moment you enter it is easy to understand why the Navajo regard this place as sacred. This slot canyon has become a very popular destination for tourists since photographers began publishing images depicting its beauty. Access to the relatively short canyon, located on Navajo land, requires a guide but there are no apparent limits to the number of people who may enter and it is not uncommon to have hundreds of people milling through during prime lighting. Not surprisingly, taking long exposure photographs in the narrow confines is quite a challenge. Fortunately I am part of a small group of 5 led by an exceptional guide who understands photography and goes out of his way to clear the path so that we may get photos that don’t include tourists.
