Slot Canyon, Antelope canyon-X.

Antelope canyon is east of page Arizona. There are 4 outfitters along the side of the road to take you there. Upper and lower antelope are very crowded and reservations are recommended. Canyon-X is about 5 miles east of the main antelope canyon parking lot. It is relatively small. When we were there there(8:30 am) there were only 3 cars in the lot waiting. Antelope had cars lined up outside the gate.


 It ended up that we were a party of two and only met two small parties on our excursion lasting about two hours. The guide took this photo with my cell phone.



Some notes on canyon photography. I used a 14mm wide angle lens at f2.8 and a tripod. It is very dark in parts of the canyon and a flashlight is needed to see your camera controls. It is also hard to focus in the dark. I also shot everything in RAW so I could adjust the white balance later incase it turned out wacky in the dark/bright conditions.
