Road trip with the 'blads

"Road trip with the 'blads" ?

BTW, Anyone use GPS to tag the pictures ?

I got one GPS stuff this summer but I don't know how to manage to show locations on a link. Shame on me.

I will be happy to send you raw "data" from Antelope Canyon...It's in the post processing that the colors come out..After driving ~8k kms, I'm heading home and then I'll have some time to pick out some possible images.

Don and Steve, the samples you have recently posted are just wonderful! Wow! :happy:

If you have not already told us, can I ask what film you both used?

Jurgen--

The slot canyon images were shot in 1992 on a popular emulsion of the time which was Kodak Gold 100. The first image was shot with a 500 CM and the 50mm CF lens. The next image(one of my favorites done up as a 12 x 16" framed in an 18 x 24" frame) was shot on November 1st with my SWC while I was standing in waist deep water. I remember the date clearly since we had to postpone the climb down into the bowels of the earth due to a rainy Halloween day. As a precaution, do not enter these slot canyons with it raining within 25 miles of the site due to the possibility of flash flooding. Precipitation simply runs off of the Navajo sandstone from miles around and eventually dumps into Lake Powell. The third picture(I titled it "Diamond Head", was shot with my 500 CM using the 80mm CF lens. And the one showing guess who standing in the entry slot was taken by Sam Gainer, one of my photographer friends, using his 500 CM. You should never enter the canyons without a companion. In addition to some treacherous paths there can ocassionally be an encounter with Rattlesnakes. When going to a new canyon or hiking into a new area, we usually use our Page, AZ guide on the first trip. This saves valuable photo time that would be spent searching for the best places. She uses a long walking stick to poke around in the dim corners of the canyon floor to flush out any snakes etc. Actually I have only encountered a snake once in the five trips inside. They say that they fall from above ocassionally.
I will send you a file soon.
