Greetings - Yes it can be, but if you take the photographer's tour with perhaps two colleagues, you will only see this as they pass you. Our guide held back the hoards very well and no one got in our shots. When we saw a leg in the view down the slot, we mentioned it and he yelled to to the other guide to hold them back. I never felt pressured. Applied the camera settings in advance, shot the same bracketed sequences, checked histograms afterwards and made adjustments, finished 3-4 shots and covered the camera with a cloth. Guide asked us if we got the shots. When we said yes, we moved on. He placed us in shooting positions the hoards cannot get to (small ledges) and showed us opportunities to shoot up in places. Threw sand into the light beams when we were ready. Very helpful!. When we stopped to shoot. It was quiet. Like we were the only ones there. Sometimes we heard a voice or two. Passing the hoards is tricky in the narrow parts. Carry the camera near your chest. I had tripod legs expended the entire time with no problem. We would stop and set up. Crowds ahead moved on or were held back for us. We had perhaps 3-4 minutes to take our shots. No complaints at all. Gave guide a nice tip. Enjoy!
