THE SLOT CANYONS MOUNTED ON ACRYLIC

IMAGE NUMBER 1192

Antelope Canyon is a “slot canyon” carved by wind and water from just outside the town of Page in Arizona, Antelope is the most visited slot canyon in the USA, and perhaps the world. Through a narrow slit in the cliffs, visitors enter one of the most beautiful of all natural formations. Pictures taken here adorn camera shops and photographic manuals throughout the world. Despite its tiny size Antelope Canyon receives up to 20,000 visitors each day. It took several visits and a deal of negotiation to set up for medium format on the tripod. However the result is a series of images which come to life when mounted on acrylic in a modern corporate or residential development.

TECHNICAL NOTES

The image was taken with a tripod-mounted Contax 645 Camera at ISO 35. Exposure of 8 seconds at F11. 120 mm Zeiss lens. The image was captured on a Phase One IQ180 80 megapixel digital back in October 2015.

UPPER SLAUGHTER

THE COTSWOLDS, ENGLAND

IMAGE NUMBER 1169

Upper Slaughter is a village in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, 4 miles (6.4 km) south west of Stow-on-the-Wold. The village is built on both banks of the River Eye, a slow-moving stream crossed by two footbridges, which also flows through Lower Slaughter. There is a ford where the river widens in the village. Most of the 16th and 17th century homes in the village use Cotswold limestone and are adorned with mullioned windows and often with other embellishments such as projecting gables. The name of the village derives form the Old English term "slough" meaning "wet land". In 2013, the Parish Council opposed an icebox tricycle selling ice creams seven days a week, six months of the year, arguing that the trading times were excessive, increased footfall would prevent the grass from growing and children could climb on the trike and fall into the nearby river.
