Bonjour Alexis!
Superbe, encore une fois! Avec le sable qui coule, comme la lumière, l'effet est sompteux! La douceur des teintes, le mouvement du sable capturé avec un temps d'exposition relativement long, font merveille ici! J'aime beaucoup. En plus, la composition est parfaite avec cette anse gracieuse de la roche qui remonte juste au coin de la photo! Bravo! Bravo!
Encore une qui va tout droit dans mon thème sur Antelope Canyon!
Amicalement

Hi Alexis,

Wow, what a cool effect! Awesome idea! On the thumbnail it almost looked like water coming down... but if it had been water, I think you would have left as quickly as possible without taking pictures. ;o)

Thanks for sharing and all the best for 2009,
Claudia

Hello Alexis! A little help never hurts, in fact it gave a great effect on your picture. I hope the sand stopped after a while :))) Sometimes we do that with snow and I am always a little scared that we make an avalanche. Yeah maybe the woman found your photo. I have a picture here on TE and I was writing about an author in my note and some days later I had a comment on my picture from him, this was just too much. He had opened an account to get in touch with me (in fact we still are) ... So, you never know, the internet is wide open ... Great picture, I like it a lot. Happy New Year to you ... Barbara.

Hi Alexis,

I love sandfalls and dancing light images from these canyons. Nice graphism here and I to my eye it looks like you've gotten the WB spot on.

Cheers!

Hello alexis,
first of all I have a question, "Are these pictoglyphs that we see on the wall to the left of the falling sand?" The idea of alowing the sand to fall is an excellent idea, and it worked well in your image. A different strategy to capture the Antelope Canyon.

Alexis,
Fantastic shot with the sand flowdow like water, Really beautiful color of the red and wonderful details and Texture of the canyon. Perfect exposure for this silk like quality of the sandfalls. I don't it's a word but since it not a waterfalls, it's a sandfalls to me. Simply wonderful. Thanks
Way

Hi Alexis,
absolutely superb shot you've presented us here! Nice idea to have your wife throw down the sand. I love the effect that it gives. Well done!
Thanks and take care, my friend,
Linda

Hi, Alexis.
Pretty good one, the idea of having artificial "sandfalls" is excellent, as long as you manage to keep your camera as far as you possibly can from them... In August 2007 I had my Sony TOTALLY screwed by the Navajo guides throwing sand up in the air to "enhance" those lightbeams, and it took me months of aggravation before I finally had my camera back & properly working here in Amsterdam. Having said that : you did a good job under the circumstances which are always far from easy in this marvelous slot canyon. Marvelous but overly dusty and full of people... Have a nice evening, I'll be seeing you.
Fulvio.

Hi Alexis,

I have nothing against 'creative' photography, as it helps achieving such great results! Colors and textures are splendid!

cheers

Hi Alexis,

OK, Antelope Canyon is clearly a highly photogenic place where it is difficult to go wrong with your photos (four pages on TE) - but this is the outstanding shot of those four pages. Solving the old photographer's problem of how to do something different and original with a place that gets shot thousands of times a day.

Nice one,
Iain
