Travel Lower Antelope Canyon

Lower Antelope Canyon · **6 Likes**

Tours of both the upper and lower slot canyons must be taken with a Navajo guide. If you are lucky, you will get a good guide who will allow you to take your time. The lower canyon was still a zoo. Narrow, little light and so many people that it is amazing I could get a shot off much less end up with some I liked. We were allowed to use a tripod (we took the photographer's tour) so that certainly helped. The upper canyon is the one that you see photographed the most it has wonderful shafts of light coming through the top. The lower canyon is all color and texture. Hope you enjoy these. I will post some vertical shots later.

At first I thought, "Yawn, I've seen stuff like this a zillion times." I was wrong: these are something else--better than the other zillion by far!

Wow, not that is a "make me feel really, really good" statement. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. These are just breathtaking. Antelope Canyon has always been on my bucket list and if the cards fall right, my older son and I will get a chance to visit in 2017. He's a Pentax shooter also (K-50).

I sure hope you make it. Make sure you pay the extra to go on one of the photographer tours. You can bring a tripod on those and have a little more time to set up, etc.
