About the Image(s)
Antelope Canyon was formed by the erosion of Navajo Sandstone due to flash flooding and rainwater. I was always in awe of the colors, lines and shapes in Antelope Canyon. Going down a set of ladders to the bottom was like going into another world. With an opening at the top, the light reflects off the different walls and darkens as it goes down the sides of the canyon. Originally I processed the image in color, but later, the image was processed in B/W to emphasize the lines and shapes so that the eye was not distracted by the color, beautiful as it was. Luminar preset was used to soften the light part of the image to give it a soft effect to make it appear as water flowing. Software used was Lightroom, Photoshop, Luminar 4 and BW Artisan Pro x 2021.
Technical Info:
Camera: Canon EOS-1D Mark II
ISO 400, Lens 16.0-35.00mm shot at 30 mm, Shutter 1 sec., Manual setting, tripod, no filters

If I didn't know it was antelope canyon, I would have said it was water from a waterfall in slow speed. The rendering is of the most beautiful effect. The framing also changes from what we usually see. But I have a question: why specify that it is antelope Canyon? Perhaps we could have been satisfied with a more evasive title. In any case, you knew how to look at this place differently with a dynamic and pleasant personal framing. Bravo

Thank you so much for taking the time to analyze my image and offer suggestions on how to better enhance the image. One of the reasons why I joined PSA was to get feedback on my images so that I could improve my post processing skills wether in b/w or color. Looking forward to implementing your suggestion on the b/w image of Lower Antelope Canyon.   Posted: 05/24/2021 12:41:11
Welcome to the group. I love monochrome images and loved the abstract look of this image. I honestly didn't need to know more about it, or even what it actually was. It seems to just work.
The color image work as well with the sharper detail and contrast. Well done on both.   Posted: 05/21/2021 15:08:20
