Echos in the Sandstone
The Tribe owns and runs Antelope Canyon. This is the son of the family that runs the concession here, The music sounded wonderful, wafting through the orange shapes and shadows.
The Mummy’s Head
So I have a good imagination! Another shot from Antelope Canyon. We shot there through the noon period so the light was amazing.
Petrified Sand Dune
This is the 4th time that I have tried to capture the beauty of a slot canyon. I think that I am finally getting it! This image consists of 11 exposures that were combined with a software called Photomatix,
Walking with the Giants
I entered this in competition…..they thought it was better than I did! This was shot in Canyon X, northeast of Page, AZ.
More Slot Canyons
This was shot in Lower Antelope Canyon. The light was very severe so it was necessary to shoot multiple exposures in HDR.
Lower Antelope Canyon No.14
It will take me ages to go through all the images I shot at this place. We were fortunate and only saw 5 other people here for over a 2-hour period.
Traffic at The Wave
There are only 20 people allowed at this location per day. As you can see, some of the popular vantage points fill up quickly.
Wave 12
Trying to capture The Wave is like shooting the Grand Canyon. I need to shoot small pieces so I can digest and appreciate. The last time we were there we got snowed out after about 20 minutes of shooting.
Winter Bush
This was shot about 6-8 miles west of Coyote Buttes; a place only our guide knew about. The afternoon colors were glorious in the light reflected off the sandstone. I processed this image in B&W and in color. I like both.
Fins and Hoodoos
Another image from Coyote Buttes. The orientation is to the north. This is the only area where there are fins, hoodoos and sliprock in one place. The fins range up to 14-16 inches high and are extremely fragile. I felt like I was walking around God’s fine china shop.
Gargoyle
This image was shot at the southern end of the formation, up pretty high. The sky coloration is caused by the warming polarizer filter. If you look real hard at the peak in the distance, it is probably about 20-30 miles west of Bryce Canyon.
Lines and Strata
A little later in the morning I moved south on the Buttes to where the hoodoos stopped and the fins and slip rock began. This image looks east….it is probably 40-50 miles to Page.
Coyote Buttes, continued
This was an early shot at the location that day. I had to be very mindful of my footprints so they would not impede other photographer’s compositions. Again, this was a composite image due to the light variance.
Day 2, Coyote Buttes
This was my second time to this location. As a result, I was less in awe and more workman-like in getting some good imagery. The location is large and maze-like with lots of different personalities. This was shot as the sun broke over the eastern horizon. It was necessary to composite to offset my not [...]
Snow on Sandstone
The sun was just starting to light up the top surfaces of the slot canyons in Arizona. This was shot at “Canyon X” which is on Reservation land about 25 miles NE of Page. It was COLD; in the canyon it was about 18.
