Beauty in Stone
As I wrote in my last post, during a recent swing out to Vegas we took a short road trip, but the weather was uncooperative and so we spent quite a bit of time in the slot canyons near Page Arizona, where the incredible forms and textures are plenty photogenic in all kinds of weather. I do have somewhat mixed feelings about many of my slot canyon photos from an artistic perspective, because you have to hire a guide there and it is so crowded that the guide points out most of interesting formations and the photographer just tries to do their best not to mess up the shot (it's actually not so easy given how little time you have before the next group wanders through your frame). Nonetheless, a magical place to visit.
This is the "Lady in the Wind" formation from lower Antelope canyon. The canyons did provide me an opportunity to work out my Pentax 15-30mm (rebrand version of the Tamron 15-30), which is a terrific lens that I haven't actually used that often.
