Antelope Canyon Yin and Yang

Yeah, Lower and Upper Antelope Canyon are easy to get to. Just a few hundred metres from the road, if that. You have to pay a small fee to shoot them, but they are on a heavily visited loop of national parks called the Grand Circle. They are so iconic and photographed by so many photographers that a few people have become bored by these photos, or of any slot canyon. Yet the quality of the light varies all day long, and it's almost hard to take a bad shot there. If you are there when there is a rain storm upstream, you must pay attention to the loud alarm that sounds to prevent you from drowning in the flash floods, which are obviously unsurvivable. It's not so much the perspective as the infinitely reflected and modulated light, though. I have spend a full day shooting there, from opening around 9 am to closing around 5 or 6 pm, and I assure you I never ran out of new angles, new light, each shot is a bit different than the others. I have at least 20 shots of one specific feature, an eye in the rock, and each shot is different. I and going again next time I am in the location, with a new approach: focus stacking, so you can take photos where everything is in sharp focus. Similar to HDR photography, it uses software to assemble sharp focus from a stack of focus-bracketed photos. Imagine this photo if every grain of sand were in sharp focus!

Awesome work Gregory!
