Upper Antelope
Canyon was AMaZiNG!! We intended to just
drive through..but after learning that they had canyons similar to the Narrows
(in Zion), which I REALLY wanted to see..we paid for a guided tour! (it’s the
only way you can get in, ha!) It was
totally worth every penny. I’d go again
in a heartbeat! : )
Our tour guide,
Lance, said his family had owned the property for five generations. His grandmother had played there as a
child! Imagine that as your back
yard. Wow.
He gave us some
amazing tips about taking photographs that captured the beauty. We were having a really difficult time. It is GORGEOUS to see the levels and the way
the light tunnels down into the caverns, but you can’t catch it on film.
We all had nice
cameras, but we got the best shots on our iPhones. He had us switch to the chrome lens (when in
camera on your iPhone, touch the bottom right, and choose the middle right
option, chrome).
Then you stand up
against a wall of the cavern, point it upward, try not to get direct sunlight
in your picture, then choose where to focus with your finger on your phone
screen. It changes how much light it
allows in, much like your eyes do!
My Canon just
couldn’t get it (I’m sure it’s user error, ha!). We changed the ISO to 800 like he recommended,
and dropped it to cloudy day (just allowed more light in), but it just didn’t
have the same effect.
So, you play with
each shot until you are happy. Dark,
light, tight focus, wider, and we got the best shots. Here are some shots. Try it sometime, maybe in a tunnel with light
at the end, or looking down a hallway. : )
