A wonderland! Absolutely breathtaking!
Shawn Talbot also has many great photos from this area. I enjoy his work!

majestic….all of them…
This has been one of my more popular antelope canyon shots. Recently added a 1/4″ thick transmount to my collection. Feel free to add my work to your blogs in the future. https://bit.ly/1-4-leaha
Where is my pasport?!
Wow these photos are amazing. Thanks I have written down the locations and want to visit these beautiful places.
Spectacular! I have heard one is required to hire a guide. Is that true? What is a good location to start? Thank you.
I would be grateful for an email.

I will be coming from Australia to visit this area in just a week from now. I can’t wait to see the spectacular formations.
Stunning images! I do appreciate the brush or tumbleweed to offset even this beauty. Seems to lend something to relate to… And yet keeps the nature quality in tact, unlike having a person as part of the composition. All are amazing photos of a breathtaking place.
Wow! Stunning images. I would love to be able to take photographs of these locations. I’ll have to put Arizona on my list of places to visit.
Beautiful rendering of interesting shapes, colors and forms not readily identifiable by the tourist visitor.
In my efforts to develop additional art skills, it would be interesting to have the metadata of these shots as they seemed to have used similar technique to achieve different results.
Very high quality. Top of line cameras and lenses?
This is some of the most Beautiful
Landscape pictures I’ve ever Seen
.BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic images talent indeed. You have out me off showing my medioca stuff on site.
This to me is what it’s about.
Great pictures, but Antelope Canyon is now a joke we paid for a half day photo tour, didnt get to lower antelope canyon, upper was crammed full of tourists making considered photography nearly impossib;le its just far to crowded now a days
I agree. I was recently there. paid extra for a “photo tour” and, as recommended by most, tried to use my tripod, timed exposure and bracketing. My approach was futile.
Other members of my tour were point and shoot tourists; arms extended in front of everyone’s lens and crowds pushing through. Tour operator and guides were extremely rude; ours did nothing to describe noteworthy locations or control movement. I finally dropped off alone and timed my shooting with ebb of crowd. Suggest taking fast wide angle lens and shoot handheld. An absolutely beautiful location.
wow! I like the red/fire colors! amazing!
Great collection, the American Southwest is such an amazing place. This is a great collection of the canyons 😀
These slot canyons really are an amazing experience. I did a photo tour of Lower Antelope Canyon with Ken’s Tours in June, 2015. There were four experienced photographers led by two young Navajo women guides. There were literally busloads of tourists in the canyon during our nearly three hour time there. Our guides did a fabulous job of telling us where the best set-up spots were for good shots and keeping the crowds at bay. They would hold them up while we shot, and amazingly, everyone was good-natured about it. There’s another tour operator at the lower canyon, and the guides from both outfits cooperate quite well in managing the crowds. Definitely plan to tip your guides–they earn every penny!
