Escalante National Monument- Slot Canyons
Jan 24, 2019 12:22:58 #
There are several really great slot canyons in Escalante. Fairly easy access and not difficult to enter or walk through and photograph. I used a 14-24 Nikon (rented) to capture this photograph. The best times for slot canton photographs is between 11 and 1, preferably closer to the edges. The sunlight enters at a sufficient angle to reflect and re-reflect the light off the colored walls and creates very cool shades, hues and shadows.
I'll take a break from posting for a while so no one gets bored.

I agree. Don't stop posting. I was at Escalante 10 years ago but missed the slot canyons, so this is catch-up for me!

Wow excellent capture. You nailed it. And I've tried photographing in slot canyons. Exposures can be tricky.
Well done.

Keep posting. I love the slots in Escalante. My friend and I explored a few of them. Hunted for another, but after hiking for miles and finding nothing, turned back. Not a profitable day! I guess the map was wrong!
