    Nice sun ray. Did you use any filters when shooting it? The exif data says exposure time was 13 seconds...

    I shot there earlier this summer but botched pretty much everything (starting with forgetting the tripod in the car before the tour headed out).

    The first photo is absolutely stunning! I think it's about the best shot I've seen out of everyone's Antelope Canyon pictures. Nice work, Shimon.

    That is stunning! I like the brightness and clarity of it. The second one is quite the contrast from the first one. Is that stitched together?

    Thanks guys, appreciate the comments.
    No filters, I bracketed and this is a merge of two of the images in PS both shot at f13 one at 5 sec the other 13 sec (I got lucky here).
    Second shot is a stitch, I know it's a simple shot but I just love the the layers and colors and could have sat there and looked at this view all day.

    The exposed layers in #2 show how much the water level has dropped.

    All these pictures from page are great. That first one is outstanding. Great details throughout topped off by the sun ray.

    Thanks all for your comments.

    But I need help! - my head is spinning, somebody pull me down back to earth rolleyes1.gif

    Lauren, thanks for the compliment - really I'm just a good student learning from all the other pro photographers and taking tons of shots to get one good one.

    Aaron, I think this one was close to the beginning when there was a 1 minute lull where one group moved on and the folks behind me froze when I gave them a look of desperation. Great meeting you too man, how did the video come out?
