Alcove

Posted by
Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 30 July 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Lower Antelope Canyon, AZ.

This little alcove required a 40 second exposure. No problem except the path passed through it and people kept walking into the frame. I persevered and this was the reward.

Part of The Great American West series.

My Spotlighted Images

My cancer has returned after almost a year of being symptom free. For the next few weeks, I have many doctor appointments and tests to determine and begin the advanced treatment best for my situation. My commenting will be intermittent at best.

hopefully your persevereted ! it's like a trompe l'oeil i've some difficulty to see exactly the shape : is the wave coming out or is it curved (hope I'm clear.....)

@Veronique: There is an edge of the wave that is in front of the back wall. It's coming out toward the viewer.
