Slot canyon — a narrow, deep gorge carved by rushing water through rock, where towering walls block direct sun and create a glow of reflected light.
Work with indirect glow. Direct midday sun creates harsh, blown-out highlights on the canyon rim. Shoot when the sun is high but slightly angled, allowing light to bounce off the upper sandstone walls and filter down as a warm, painterly orange glow.
Avoid the cliché of artificial dust-beam shots; instead, use a wide-angle lens close to the canyon floor to emphasize the sheer scale and flowing water-carved textures of the rock face.
