In preparation I've purchased some camera geekery for the trip: a new uberlight & small tripod, a new ballhead and filters. Along with my trusty 5D, wide angle lens and telephoto strapped to my back it should be a good trip. The Queen says she wants pictures blown up for hanging around the house upon our return, so I'll do my best to please her.
I can't wait to photograph Antelope Canyon - here is a sample of what it looks like.
