Antelope Canyon Sanstone Waves
Brent's great pictures of Lower Antelope Canyon inspired me to work on a few of the images that I took there late this spring. It really is a great place to visit. Normally we spend huge amounts of time and effort to find great lighting and color, and it is readily abundant there. Anyway, just thought I would add to Brent's posts. :smile:

Awesome Kipp! Love it! Isn't that such a cool place? You're right, the good light just smacks you in the face at every turn!

Very nice! Of the many great locations in Lower Antelope, this is one of my favorites.
Looks like you used my tripod holes.:cool: I've got an identical shot taken 3 years ago, in March.

You know, I need to get off my sorry Ars and get out to the Canyon one of these days. When is the best time of year for this location?

I've been there in March and July and my thought is that time of day is more important than time of year. A generalization would be to say the higher the sun, the better but in March a couple years ago I was in Lower Antelope late in the afternoon and it was still spectacular though the light tended to run to the cooler end of the spectrum. Don't make the mistake that a lot of folks do by shooting their way to the end of the canyon then packing the gear for the hike out. You'll see stuff on the way back that you totally missed going in.
