Hi, I went to lower Antelope Canyon AZ yesterday. The following was taken with the 8mm fisheye and an Olympus E-330.
Also I used AutoPano Pro to HDR stack 5 shots with a 6 stop bracket to show both the sky and the canyon walls. F6.7 and shutter speeds from 1/250 to 1/4. The blue in the sky looks fake but is real.
The composition is certainly appealing. Spiral is an excellent description of the visual impact. But the white balance is a bit odd. The highlights seem to be going cyan, which is probably pushing into the entire image.
I like the composition, but I think in addition to the WB change it could use some lightening up toward the bottom. And a sat increase.

Here's another one from Antelope that look to me like the inside of a giant clam. It goes from very dark to very bright. It has 6 stops of bracketed HDR shots so the exposure range is something like 16 stops so I think that this shot represents the scene well. I am disinclined to lighten it up toward the bottom. But I appreciate the suggestions.
