Canyoneering Photography

Very interesting article and amazing pictures!
It is quite an eye-opening experience for arm-chair explorers like myself, who would never venture into such places in person. Thank you, Bill for showing us this world.

Great article! You mentioned the canyons are created by floods - what do you do to keep safe from flooding?

Yes, great article and pictures! Very inspiring photographically and for adding adventure into life.

Yes, good article with advice that transcends canyoneering like finding gestures that convey action. I do that with pretty much all the active stuff I shoot (cycling, running, mountaineering, skiing, etc).
I have a friend who does this as a hobby, I need to get him to bring me along sometime! I probably have the basic skills but just haven't applied them to this activity yet.

Nice photos and good article.

That's a good article with good photos, but one thing that I don't see mentioned is how to protect the equipment from water while keeping easy access. I am curious about the author's methods. Maybe he explores mostly dry canyons, but personally I find the canyons with water much more appealing. For example, here's photos of one I traveled a week and half ago: http://www.terragalleria.com/blog/the-whole-enchilada-zion-national-parks-subway-from-the-top/

Thanks for the article.  I understand that a good photograph is not about how far one hiked or went out of their way to get.  However, it was the spirit of outdoor adventure that lured me into wanting to be a photographer. QT, I once repelled down Yosemite Falls in the late summer (Middle Earth).  I put my Nikon D800 in a dry bag and had to float it across some pools.  It worked fine!
