Sunrise photography in Dead Horse Point and Canyonlands National Park

Sunrise photography in Dead Horse Point and Canyonlands National Park

Overview

We will visit at least three world class locations for photography in Utah's Canyonlands. I have traveled extensively in search of amazing photographic locations, and it is hard to beat Dead Horse Point and the Islands in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park. I will show you great locations, and make suggestions on composition and subject matter. I can even help you with your camera settings if you are a beginner.

Options to extend the tour to a full day (to include Arches National Park).

Note: There is a 2 person minimum for all 1/2 day tours. If you wish to book and you are solo, contact me with your availability and I will attempt to pair you with others.

My husband and I booked a sunrise photo shoot with Colin. I was the one taking pictures and my husband was an "extra". It was lots of fun and very informational. He took us to places we would have never found on our own. Colin initially helped me get my camera set up. Then he recommended camera settings and gave composition tips for each shot. He was always on hand to answer questions and make additional recommendations. Colin was very knowledgeable about the area and we talked about other locations in Utah we would like to explore with his help in the future. We hope to make it back someday! It was a very special experience and we brought home the worlds best souvenirs. Beautiful photos suitable for framing!

This was a great tour and Colin was a great host. I learned a few new techniques from Colin and he took us to some great locations to photograph

My friend and I finally were able to vacation together after two years, but she is still recovering from foot surgery so any tour with "XTREME" in the name was off the table. I thankfully found Rock Light Photo Tours! My friend and I booked the sunrise photography tour which included stops at Canyonlands and Dead Horse Point. On the morning of our original tour date it was raining hard with no plans of letting up for the rest of the day, so I reached out to Colin and he graciously offered to reschedule us for the next day. We met up the next morning while it was still very early and very dark and Colin drove us (and another guest) to our first destination while a second car followed. It all felt very safe, comfortable, and laid back. Although I did take digital and darkroom photography in university, my friend and I used our iPhones for this tour, while the other 3 guests on the tour had DSLR cameras. Colin was able to individually help all of us as needed, and pointed out all of the best photo spots at each location. We never felt rushed but were also able to visit several areas and get amazing shots I probably would have never gotten on my own! I have easily over 100 photos to go through and edit, and am so happy we did this tour. We got back to town before noon so still had plenty of the day left. I absolutely would recommend this tour for photography enthusiasts!
