Techniques, Tips, Trips, and Musings about my Work

Sunlight entering through the top of Upper Antelope Canyon creates the shape of an ascending angel. Sony a900 with Sony SAL 20mm lens, f16 at 12seconds.

It  is Christmas Eve and this post hopes all who read it are well. I shot this image in Upper Antelope Canyon and though I was immediately attracted to the luminance of the scene it was not until I previewed the photographs that I saw what I had captured. For me the image is so distinct and I am amazed every time I see it. Antelope Canyon is a special place full of power and spirit. But when you go you must stop and let the canyon envelope you and the visions will come. Whether you see an angel or a bird in this image is not really important. But hopefully you see a spirit in the image that represents the life and breath of the canyon and the Navajo’s who call this place home. I have returned to this spot on several occasions and have yet to see it again.

Merry Christmas
