jerry_sousa Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Raid, Those are both lovely photos. The picture of the canyon is very sensual....the wall on the right, in shade, looks like a woman's bust. You used a tripod for both shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pensacolaphoto Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 Jerry, Thanks. I have never "seen" the lovely bust you refer to, but it's there! At the time of this photo, there were no maps published for the Lower Antelope Canyon, and it was a mystery how to get there and get inside them.

pensacolaphoto Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 I forgot your main question: Yes, I used a tripod in both. For the first photo is used a sturdy Gitzo tripod but for the canyon I used a very light Velbon tripod since I had to be roped down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pensacolaphoto Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 Peter, Is your photo of the Lower Antelope Canyon? Did you have to use a rope to get down or only ladders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_white2 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Raid, The photo was made in Peek-A-Boo Gulch. It's about 25 miles down Hole in the Rock Road from Escalante, Utah. Hole In The Rock dead ends at the Colorado River in Glen Canyon, now flooded by Lake Powell. You can get a map from the Park Service office in Escalante. It's a very narrow slot canyon. At the point the photo was made, it's perhaps 15 feet deep, and varies from 18" to 30" wide. There's a small parking area off the road. You have to hike about a half hour to get to the canyon. Nothing technical, as long as you start upstream. If you start at the bottom, you have a fairly acrobatic climb into the slot. From upstream, you start in a gully a few inches deep, that gradually gets deeper and deeper. It's a quite an experience. I've been in there twice; once with my F-1 and the 17, and once with Leica M gear. My hope is to get back there with the 4x5 and get some high definition images of the rock texture. We're going back out there in April. We'll see. I've been in upper Antelope Canyon several times, but never in Lower Antelope. For the curious, you can get to Antelope Canyon by going to Page, Arizona, and driving a mile or two SE on Route 98. The Navajo have a little parking area on the right. You pay about $15 or so, and they drive you to the mounth of this magnificent slot canyon, about 50 or 60 feet deep I'd guess. The light is amazing. And the textures of the sandstone will knock you out. <img src="http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/images/fun/antelope1b.jpg"> Taken with the FD 80-200 f:4L at about 150mm focal length, I'd guess.

peter_white2 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 <img src="http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/images/fun/me-rock-formation1.jpg"> The Maine coast is a marvelous place. I think this was taken near Ogunquit. I think you could spend a lifetime trying to figure out how that strip of quartz got into those layers, not to mention how those layers got into that shape.
