[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The light was much more muted on that day. I used Velvia 50 and a long exposure time to really saturate the colors. I did not use a meter on this shot! The camera meter was broken and I did not have a stand alone meter. There has been no alteration to this photo from the original 35mm slide. I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Brandon
Beautiful colours, are these for real? The light must have been awesome. You have selected interesting shapes and shadows to make a great abstract of this place. Busted camera? No way.

Wind and sand doing sculptures, where is this place?

impressive. Great colors. it "locked" my eyes and mind for a long time.

Excellent mood and display. The forms are quite impressive. Glad to see that some still master 35mm without the aid of meters. In this digital world of ours, many people rely heavily on metering. It takes years of experience to get the exposure feeling. Congratulations on a True Masterpiece.
TFS.
Kind Regards,
Mike

Brilliant shot Brandon! Alas I've not been to Antelope Canyon yet but I'll make sure to visit it the next time around! - Good call on the long exposure!
