Upper Antelope Canyon

I’ve wanted to visit Antelope Canyon ever since I saw some images online many years ago. I hadn’t realised until recently though that it’s not an American National Park and instead, owned and managed by the Navajo Nation. My guide, prosaically named Val, knew the best locations for the time of day. We descended the steep slopes into the upper slot canyon, hoping the sun would work its magic. In these circumstances, a tripod becomes an essential piece of kit and guarding against lens flare when shooting towards the light is a challenge.
