Back from Utah

Mike Horn and I just got back from our 9 day backpacking trip in Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. I would have to say that us two Missouri boys know how to tear the Southwest up in 8 days. The trip was an awesome success, we found some amazing locations that have not been photographed to death and we met and made some great new friends and some new connections with the Navajo people who took us on their land and showed us a slot canyon that I can say is truly better then Antelope Canyon which I thought such a place never existed. I will post photos of this in the near future.

This photo is Zebra Slot located on the North Side of Escalante, this slot beat me and Mike up!

Image taken with two es stitched together with a 5D and a Canon 24mm Shift Lense, the first image taken with lense shifted all the way up and the second image taken with the lense shifted all the way down then stitched togther in PS with no crop. The end result is a native image of 4928 X 4304 at 300 dpi

Hey Mark, sounds like you two had a great trip. I hope to make it to this area someday, there seems to be a lot that I'm missing out on in that region of the country. Nice concept and execution on this composite shot. I really like the textures and sense of tightness you've captured here. Well done! Looking forward to seeing more!

Nicely done Mark and nice job stiching the images together. I like the color and pattern to the rock, leads the eye down the canyon. Must have been a great trip, hope to see more! Thanks for sharing!

Nice pic, Mike - I bet it did take a lot of effort to get in there! We went into some pretty small places in our recent trip to Fiery Furnace in Arches, but those looked absolutely spacious compared to this canyon. Thanks for sharing!
