Another interesting formation from Antelope canyon. This has to be a photographers heaven, everywhere one looks its interesting shapes and play of light. Just one thing missing is being alone with no one to walk into your frames and I think you can literally take thousands of amazing shots here.
Hope you all like it. Have a nice Sunday..

On the third day of our Grand Canyon Trip we visited the beautiful little town of Page Arizona and the famous Antelope Canyon. The day started out real bad as the alarm didn’t go off and we were late. Coupled with that there was a lot of fog and we had to drive extremely slowly due to very low visibility. Then half way to the trip my wife told me that we forgot to pack the tripod, which in a low light location like a slot canyon makes it impossible to shoot. To say I was mad would be an understatement.
Anyways we reached the tour area I asked the guide if I could rent a tripod somewhere and he gave a plastic tripod which could no way holdup the heavy D800. I decided to make the best of a situation and used it but I only managed very few shots without camera shake. The Canyon itself was mind blowing though and I am sure I will be back, better prepared the next time.

Antelope Canyon, one of the toughest locations, I had to shoot. My wife had forgotten to pack the tripod and I was forced to shoot hand held. That was no problem except that canyon is very dark as only little bit of light enters through the narrow opening of the canyon top. To add more complexity the entire canyon is teaming with tourists both professional photographers and amateurs and its almost next to impossible to get a frame without someone accidently walking through the frame unless you are pointing your camera straight up.
I hope I will be able to return here soon and that this time I won’t forget my tripod.
