Antelope Canyon Upper Antelope Canyon, Richard Oesterling M2 & 35mm F1.4 Summilux The most famous slot canyons in the world.  This is where a group of 14 people were washed away and killed a few years ago.  This place can be dangerous but also very beautiful. Antelope Canyon is located in Page, Arizona on land owned by the Navajo Nation.  You can access the canyon yourself after paying for a day Pass, or you can use one of the many tour companies in the area.  There are two canyons.  Upper and lower Antelope canyon.  Most tours visit the Upper canyon.  The people that were killed were visiting the lower canyon.  The lower canyon requires a descent down a ladder into the canyon.  The Upper canyin can be easily walked from end to end.  Both canyons offer magnificent oppurtunites for photos. I recommend that you take your fastest lenses as the light is very dim inside the canyons.  Lenses from 21mm to 50mm are recommended.  The Summilux and Noctilux lenses will help a great deal in this very low light area.  A tripod is also a must.  The light is best from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., when the sun is directly overhead.  This will allow beams of light to enter the canyon from above creating many exciting photo oppurtunities.  The wind, sand and dust in this location are Brutal to your camera equipment, so bring protection.  You will be glad you have a Leica in a place like this.  Several people I was shooting with had their cameras ruined from the flying sand/dust that impregnated their autofocus mechanisms.  You can also easily scratch your lenses in this area so use a brush or compressed air to remove the sand before attempting to clean your lenses. There are many Hotels and Resturaunts in the town of Page, just a few miles from the canyons. Nearby Lake Powell is a great recreation area nearby.  The North Rim of the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley can be accessed by a days drive from this location. Here is a link for more information regarding this canyon.  The canyon is highly recommended, but a good guide is essential. http://www.antelopecanyon.com/ Upper Antelope Canyon, Richard Oesterling M2 & 28mm Elmarit F2.8
