It really accentuates the light and gives it an airy affect.

Throw Some Sand – If you find a place with a great light beam, make sure you throw some sand up in the air before pressing your quick release button.

If you have a clumsy tripod, it could make your experience a bit frustrating and you will spend most of your time fumbling rather than shooting. Much of Lower Canyon is quite narrow and you will need to maneuver and sometimes climb.

Tripod- Make sure you can move and position your tripod easily.

I suggest playing with it for a few minutes when you first arrive and then find the f-stop that works for you before moving through the canyon.

However, this is also a personal preference based on the look you want. Aperture- I prefer a lot of depth of field, so my shots were at f/18 for the most part.We found that shooting at 1-3 seconds worked best for us and we could capture different angles quite quickly. Extra pressure is on when a line of 10 people are waiting around the corner for you. Shutter Speed- Because you don't have all day to set up your tripod, angle your camera and get your shot, you will need to shoot rather quickly.You can always adjust your shutter to compensate for the darkness if needed. I recommend when you first get down there, find an ISO that works and keep it there for the rest of the shoot. For other DSLR cameras, you may need to go up even higher depending on your other settings. We were able to stay at 400 ISO no problem without the image falling apart. ISO – We have a great low-light Sony a7s camera that doesn't require a high ISO and we were very thrilled with what we got.Here are the settings we shot with and recommend: This is a manual mode photoshoot for sure and you will want to make sure you are shooting in RAW so you can make some of the necessary adjustments in photoshop later.
