Environment

Antelope Canyon is a desert location in Arizona just a few miles outside of the city of Page. It is a great location that is close to many of the other tourist attractions associated with the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon just to name a couple. There is lots of dust and sand and lots of sun. Carry water with you at all times and make sure you check weather conditions which can range from cold to hot depending on the time of year. Your equipment will get dusty and there is a lot of sand, so consider this. There is no way to prevent the problem but make sure you have lens wipes handy to wipe down the lens. When the light is entering the canyon, the tour guide will literally through a great amount of sand into the air so that the light will reflect off the grains and the beam will form. Although this can happen naturally, you would not want to wait.
