Antelope Canyon, located near Page Arizona, is one of several stunning slot canyons in the Southwest. It
feels like being in a cave except that the roof is missing. What immediately grabs your attention is the
unusual sandstone formations which took Mother Nature thousands of years to carve. The beautiful colors
are due to various minerals within the rocks. As the sun moves across the sky, the light accentuates
different parts of the sandstone and produces interesting effects. While this canyon is very popular with
photographers, it takes work to capture and produce above average images. The photographer needs a full
featured DSLR camera and tripod to experiment with slow shutter speeds as light changes when moving from
one area to the next. Antelope Canyon should be on everyone’s bucket list. It is easy to access with a
tour guide and requires a minimum amount of walking.
