Upper Antelope Slot Canyon

Navajo Nation, Navajo County, Arizona view map

Our guide ushered the throngs of other visitors out of the
scene so we could capture this relatively pristine setting.
I purposely knocked down the saturation a lot to try something
different on what is an otherwise heavily photographed location.
This is a merge of three exposures for HDR.

Love this without much color! Forms, contrasts, textures show up to the max!

Fantastic image of this canyon, really like how you did this. v

This is a different view. I thought at first, it was b & w. When we were here a few years a go, I had to leave because the guides were throwing sand into the air. To much dust!!!! V.

eons of water have acted like a lathe here, sculpting smooth yet undulating shapes...tremendous image Sam...V

Carol How		23-Apr-2014 01:47
It is particularly evocative with desaturation and the thumbnail really caught my eye!

Dan Greenberg		23-Apr-2014 01:14
I like it a lot Sam! I was thinking of doing a mono or altered color one as well and this convinces me it is a super idea. ~BV~
