If you're spending a long holiday weekend photographing in and around Page, Arizona, then it's difficult not to end up at Lower Antelope Canyon at some point. In our case, we made the trip Sunday morning and -- mirabile dictu! -- they were not only open (I have made the five-hour drive from Phoenix five times over the past decade only to find it closed), but they were allowing photographers to carry tripods, which wasn't the case when we stopped there on Friday afternoon. Oh, and just so you know, they're apparently enforcing the two-hour time limit, after which point they charge you an additional $20 for every hour you spend inside, which is on top of the original $26 fee. If you've never been there, then it's well worth the money, don't get me wrong, but it's been photographed so thoroughly now, that coming up with an original image has more to do with the luck of the light than anything, and having only two hours in which to do so (in years past, we were able to spend three or four hours inside) forces you to photograph in a "run-and-gun" manner, which isn't my style at all.
P.S.: In case you're curious, the colors you see here are not the same colors your eyes see inside the canyon, but an artifact of using long exposures and the light building up on the sensor over time. That said, I tweaked the color saturation only minimally, so this is an accurate representation of what my camera actually captured and the colors you see here are therefore "real," if that makes any sense.
