Had countless iPhone shot Instagram accounts not posted, liked, and reposted this place would I ever have come here? Let alone pay USD$250 for two pax to visit this place?
I was one of the lucky ones. My camera phones low light photos suck and it doesn't have any digital crutches to fall back on. Hence, I was free to experience the place.
Free from the "necessity" of experiencing the place I'd seen on a screen from a screen, so I too could capture it on my screen, so everyone on their screen could see I'd photographed the place everyone else had photographed with cameras that make the place look better than it really looked when I was there.
Not to trivialize the beauty of Antelope Canyon. No, it was just the reality of visiting it at 2PM in January. The sun was low, so there was not much light. The added benefit was there were also few tourists.
Such a hypocrite, you with the blog. This entire thing is filled with pictures. Yes. But at what point does a shot to remember, become trading your eyes a lens and your memory photoshop?
