Description
This was a lucky chance, to come across a group shooting this. A guy was throwing up dust and jumping out of view. There was room for me at the edge of the group and I shot several frames with the dust in different parts of the beam and combined several.

Technical Details
An ancient 35mm film capture and scan, from 2002. The originals were lost in one of our famous CA wildfires.
Diane, a wonderful classic take from this iconic location. No doubt a real wall hanger for anyone who knows of this natural wonder,…well done with the 35mm setup too… 
This brings back fond memories and sad at the same time. In the infancy of my transition to MF gear my wife and I took a trip early on to Lower Antelope and a few years later to Upper Antelope. We missed the major flood disaster in Lower Antelope that killed 11 tourists by only one week.
While taking images in the canyon a fella asked me to do the dust throwing to create the similar scene. He was on vacation from his professional photo guide job down in Antarctic areas… 
I have never been there but have seen many pictures from this location and didn’t see this type of picture. I love the light beam and how it lights the walls making it seem so mystic and a really nice play of light and dark.
Beautiful image. They no longer allow photography with tripods there. All visitors are shuffled along with a guide now. I was told that they lose money on photography tours.
Thanks, @Paul_Breitkreuz, @tamar-aharony and @Igor_Doncov! That’s sad about no more tripods. I wonder if it is even possible to shoot without people in the way. Even back in the day, there was always a problem with somebody shooting off a flash during an exposure.
Antelope Canyon is yet another iconic location that has become impossible to create iconic photos such as yours, @Diane_Miller. After seeing many many photos from there, I finally made it to Page a couple of years ago. I was aware that tripods were no longer allowed, but I was unprepared for what an assembly line production these tours have now become. 30 minutes from end to end. There were busloads going to and from the location. Felt like I was part of a herd of cattle. These tours probably make more money than the local casino!
What a sad situation! And I wonder how many of the people on the tour had the slightest appreciation of the location. When we were there there were groups bring moved along but it wasn’t super crowded, and we got lucky with a guide who was willing to give us a little slack.
There are other supposedly similar slot canyons around there but I’ve never found the locations.
There are lesser known slot canyons in the Southwest, but I have not been to any yet. Action Photo Tours runs some slot canyon tours in the area. I signed up for one last year but it was cancelled due to inclement conditions.
