Passageway
Uploaded: February 13, 2013
Lower Antelope Canyon, Page, Utah. Hikers would enter from RHS and move towards the middle of the composition, then take a slant towards the right as they enter the brighter room. Once inside the larger room, they'd continue walking away from the camera and enter another narrow passageway, not visible in this photo.
There are two Antelope Canyons in Page - Upper and Lower. Both cost money. Upper Antelope Canyon is more photographed and much more crowded with tourists and they limit how long you can stay. Lower Antelope Canyon is more rugged, with vertical descents. I did not have a time limit nor did I need to be in a guided group. Much more freedom. Both are scenic!
5-step exposure from the same parent CRW image.
