Photography in the Moab
Sunrise at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park
Southeastern Utah is a paradise for photographers.
Under conditions of constantly changing light, the red rock landscapes
of southeastern Utah provide limitless photographic opportunities. Often,
the difference between an average photograph and an exceptional photograph,
is good lighting.
Canyonlands National Park & Dead Horse Point State Park
Low sun angles at sunrise and sunset add great depth
to many of the panoramic vistas in southeastern Utah, such as the views
from the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park and Dead
Horse Point State Park. Scattered clouds can also add depth to an image
and a passing storm can provide extremely dramatic lighting.
