Antelope Canyon & Lake Powell Workshop

First, I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter!

Very excited about exploring the Antelopes again.

I’ve got 3 quick tips to help you get more out of your trip.

1. Bring a plastic bag to cover your camera and lens. I’m a big fan of the thicker, stronger compactor bags as a general rule. Yet, in the canyons, they are too big and awkward. A smaller grocery bag, or trash bag will keep the sand off your gear, if the wind starts to blow. In a pinch, you could use the shower cap from your hotel!
2. Narrow canyons and big backpacks are a recipe for frustration. While you may want to carry some water, a light fleece sweater and an extra lens, a smaller day pack will keep you focused on the photography and not the equipment. It might also keep you from getting stuck in a narrow slot.
3. Slow & steady wins the race! We want to use the lowest ISO possible to achieve sharp and noise free images. That typically means either 100 or 200 ISO. In the canyons’ low light, shutter speeds could easily run from 2 to 8 seconds. So, even though your camera will be mounted on a tripod, you’ll want to use a remote shutter release of some kind to prevent any wiggling or shaking the camera when you fire the shutter.
