Spring break trip to Upper Antelope Canyon near Page, AZ. This was an awesome trip and photo opportunity for me. This would mark my first real photo trip. I got some great photos and learned a lot. Need more cf space. I only had 3 gigs on me and I killed it all. I am learning as I go.
This is one of my favorite photos and my only wish is that I would have shot it in raw so I would have had more editing options. Turns out that I forgot to set my camera to raw+jpg until after all the light beams. Bummer. Oh well, it still turned out nice. I hope everyone likes it as much as me :)

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.
I've seen other shots of the same place and they're actually better without that shaft of light. Shame, 'cos I bet it was såectacular to look at. 5
Such an incredible setting - enduring landscape for photography. I just think your shaft of light is too strong...the blow out happening at the very top is distracting. The shaft cuts your image into two pieces and looks almost as if someone opened your camera - of traditional Old 35mm mode.
