I am doing a tour of the Southwest with family. We will be visiting grand canyon and Zion and Bryce and Antelope Canyon.
There are several outfitters that do tours of Antelope canyon. All of these companies offer photo tours and regular tours. All this means is that you get a 2 1/2 hour tour ( instead of 1 1/2 for the regular tour) and are allowed to bring a tripod in. There is no teaching and no crowd control with these "photo tours".
Is it worth the extra cost? Is there a better tour company than another? Adventurous Antelope Photo Tours offers tours to Antelope and Canyon X and other less busy canyons. Has anyone used them ?
We only have 1 day in the area so we are doing Horseshoe Bend at sunrise, then Antelope Tour at noon ( when beams of light are the best). Which is best Upper or Lower Antelope canyon.
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Gail
PS I know squat about landscape photography so what lens would you recommend. I have a 24-105 but I think I should get something wider. Advice?
