Capturing light, color, and texture in Antelope Canyon, Arizona

Starting next month and ending in September, one of the most popular natural phenomena to photograph will begin appearing: the famous beam of light that cuts through the Upper Antelope Canyon near the Arizona-Utah border. Indeed, when I snapped the above photograph, I was one of 20 people scrambling to get the same shot, and more people were waiting their turn outside the alcove, belying the peaceful feeling the photo exudes. This beam of light is one of the reasons why the Antelope Canyons are widely regarded as the most popular slot canyons in the American Southwest. But there is more to these canyons than this light beam, especially if you venture to the Lower Antelope Canyon, which isn't as widely traveled but still boasts the same sensuous colors and unique textures. Check out my photo gallery of the lower canyon below.
