A couple of shots I took of myself this past weekend in the slot canyons of Page, Arizona. I placed myself in the photos so you can get a sense of scale. There are two slot canyons near Page, Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon. This is the less visited, Lower Canyon. And I use the term less visited loosely because this is a very popular destination. I was able to enter with a photographer’s pass and thus, avoid the requirement of being with a tour group. The lower canyon is more challenging than the upper because it is smaller and deeper, necessitating a steeper decent on ladders. You used to have to enter using ropes to get to the canyon floor, but a flash flood in 1997 killed 11 hikers and since then they’ve made it easier to get in to and out of. Both canyons are located on Navaho Nation land and are administered by the Navajo as National Tribal Parks.
It’s like you captured a crazy hallucination on camera. Or you were shrunk and found yourself walking along a chunk of chocolate. Either way, looks like a cool place to be. Welcome back!
Very cool. Beautiful shots Sean. Putting yourself in the shots gives them a great point of interest. Good call. I think the second shot should be called “Sean’s Sanctuary.” :-))))
Hey A.J.,
No, nothing special. The exposures were somewhat slow due to low light, but I was using a tripod. The sound is silence (until the next tour group comes through).

these are beautiful.
Wow! It’s like a little piece of heaven.
It’s amazing places like this actually exist. I’d personally like to see you in more photos. Perhaps riding a hippo or another large animal.
hahahahahhaahhahahahhaha

these are starting to make me feel like so far my summer’s been a complete waste of time.
Sean, two questions:
Did you have to do anything special in terms of lighting/exposure?
And what does it sound like in there?
