Fotoflock brings you a new feature which is essentially of the flock, by the flock and for the flock. Share with us your best shots yet and the story behind how it happened, the techniques used and why it is your favourite. And we will feature the best images and stories on Fotoflock.com.

This week Fotoflocker Anupam shares the beautiful and rare shot of the Great Canyon in USA.

And here is why this is Anupam’s favourite shot:

“It was a painful shot as the sand that I threw up in the Sun kept coming down on me  during the shoot. But the end result was sweet. Hence this is my favourite shot.”

Location and time of shoot: Upper Antelope Canyon, Page, Arizona, USA, shot during mid day

How it was taken: A 30s exposure self portrait.

Technique used: Threw sand in the sub beam just before the shot so that the beam glows.

Equipment used: Nikon F100 with 17-35 mm f2.8 Nikkor lens.

Post work if any: Scanning with tone and colour correction.
