Mystique Navajo Land, a photo from Arizona, West

Photographer's Note

The Antelope Canyon is famous for its photogenic sand stones in galleries all over the world. It is located near Page, Arizona, about a 2.5 hour drive from Grand Canyon Village. This picture was taken in the lower Antelope Canyon during a short guided tour without a tripod. Special photography tours are being offered, so people can spend a few hours in there without having to rush.

Both the Lower and Upper Antelope Canyon are slot canyons and exist due to erosion and the walls look polished like that because of flash floods. Those two short Canyons are pretty much just to take photos in, people that are interested in trekking for a couple of days in such a rock formation can try to receive a permit for Paria Canyon.

Enjoy

Hallo Fabian,
tolle Farben und ein schцnes Lichtspiel zwischen den Felsen. Schon beeindruckend welche Formen die Natur im Laufe von unzдhligen Jahren erschaffen kann.
Viele GrьЯe,

Hello Fabian,

I like this kind of picture, very graphical and with strange (but natural) colors.
Your composition is good, you played with the curves of the cliffs. The top of the picture is a little bit over-exposed but it should be very tough to have a correct exposition here.

Classical yet magnificent vista of this canyon, the POV is very nice because it hides the perspective and makes it even grander.
