Continued to Page, Arizona from North Rim Grand Canyon earlier this month. Did Photographer's Tour of Upper Antelope Canyon - only way to go and take decent photos without people being in shots. Used Adventurous Antelope Canyon Tours, excellent and only 6 people in group.

I second ppage recommendation for Peak Design Summit Slide. I have had my Peak Design strap on my Nikon D750 and it works well, even with a 150-600mm lens attached. Like that Peak Design gives you various attachment options, so you can use strap in many ways.
Seems like photographers are cognizant of thee laws regarding taking photos in public, while the general public isn't. However, every Mom and Dad with a cell phone think nothing of taking photos of their kids with others in the background. Yet, show up with a DSLR and you're a pervert, exploiting their children. Well, your motives might be suspect if you have a super telephoto lens attached to that DSLR. Know your rights, and maybe carry a copy of this article with you.

And a very nice ring it is too........
Check out Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT) for their African Safaris. Have friend & his wife going with them to Africa next spring.
Can't wait to see what you do when you get gel and slave flashes as these are incredible already.
Might try composite photo - shoot wide angle foreground and telephoto of eclipse then merge in PS.
Taken when I was working in Macau 2015
Ecellent capture, tacks harp......and hand held too. WOW!
As always, excellent captures. Have been there, but only for sunset. You are very talented Mike, thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for your input and information. Much appreciated. Have confirmed reservations on Sept. 8th with Adventurous Antelope Canyon Photo Tours for the moring Photographers Tour. This is small group for photographers only with DSLR and tripod. Guide is a Navajo indian who is also a photographer and will suggest shoots and settings. Will be shooting with Nikon D750 with Tamron 15-30mm on tripod. May take Nikon D7100 with 24-120 for secondary hand held shots. Definitely lots of practice before-hand with camera settings and tripod adjustments. Again, thanks UHH-ers for all your advice.
Thanks JFleming - my D750 has tilt screen, which I love.
