The only obligation to book this tour, is you have to have a tripod and professional camera, no smartphone or iPhone photography. Since slot canyons are often dark with limited light, using a tripod is essential for stabilizing your camera and capturing sharp images, especially if you’re using longer exposure times. A wide-angle lens is ideal for capturing expansive views within the narrow confines of the canyon. It will help you include more of the surroundings and emphasize the depth and scale of the canyon walls.
