Image of the week #12

This week’s image was one I took back in May of 2011, but I have since learned some new skills in editing and I think it has made some improvements to the image. This was taken near Page, Arizona, some nice sandstone sculpted by wind and rain, taken with a Canon 5Dm2 and a Zeiss 21mm lens. I really like the 3d effect, this was just an awesome day to be out doing some photography. Enjoy.

Secret Canyon

The day after Greg and I got to Page, May 11, we went on a tour of Secret Canyon, which is just south of Page. It is somewhat near Antelope Canyon but in a different wash, I will bet that area has a lot of slot canyons. What makes this canyon nice is that only one tour guide has permission to go to it, and they limit the tours to a maximum of 6 people. We were fortunate to be the only ones in the canyon. The guide, Robert, was very knowledgeable and a good driver and he sure knew how to drive that Hummer. There was some interesting parts that really needed to have the 4-wheel drive and he was able to show off some of the abilities of the vehicle. Here are a few images from the canyon. Hope you enjoy them, click on any of the thumbnails to see a larger version.

Quick trip to Page, AZ

My friend Greg and I decided to do a whirlwind trip to Page, AZ to do some photography on May 10 and 11. In particular we wanted to shoot some slot canyons. Greg had come across a relatively new and not well publicized slot canyon called “Secret Canyon”. After some discussion and review of our schedules we could not make a prolonged trip to the area, so we left on a Tuesday morning and drove the 8.5 hours to Page. Once there we had some time to kill and did some shooting around Wahweap Marina overlook and in an area near the Glen Canyon dam. The following day we headed to the slot canyon, to be documented in my next post. Here are some shots that were taken on the Tuesday late afternoon. Hope you enjoy them.
