I saw your journey thread.

Lovely series of images from slot canyons.

I think your first image could be really dynamite with a little more shadow detail in the darker areas of the image. It is just much too dark right now for my taste. Kind of like this is what I would suggest



Antelope and other slot canyons are just a blast to shoot, aren't they??

Thanks for the post and comments. I figured not everyone would like that shot but I do. I like the negative space and how the light makes a ribbon effect.

I have about 300 photos from 3 slot canyons with a wide range of exposures.

You think more like this one?

Those are fantastic! I haven't seen your journey thread so I shall hop on over and check it out. My favorite is #4...love the layers of colors!!

These are great - and I like #1 as is. I found the sandstone shapes to be amazing and so interesting last year at Zion. I would love to visit the other canyons.


Thanks for sharing

I like the original
I like the original better. I think that by lightening it up that it makes it less dramatic. I like the way that with it darker that your eye is drawn through the whole picture. But this is my humble opinion. Great shots and I loved your other thread.

These look great Aaron I see Pathfinder has offered up some good tips in his reply to you.

The sandstone sculptured walls look beautiful, got to see some myself last year on the Dgrin Post Shoot

Beautiful work Aaron ... Skippy

I saw the Journey thread and thought you all did a great job. I really liked the uniqueness of your portraits in those canyons as well!

First and third are really gorgeous. Great color and lines.
