Sunset and Night Photography in Arches National Park

Sunset and Night Photography in Arches National Park

Overview

We will visit at least four locations for photography in iconic Arches National Park for the afternoon golden hour and sunset. I have traveled extensively in search of amazing photographic locations, and it is hard to beat Arches National Park for the wide variety of photographic locations, and it is an official international Dark Skies park. During the busy season, I will lead the tour to locations that are less well known but still spectacular.

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. After sunset. we will take a brief break for a picnic and go over camera settings for night photography while we wait for the Milky Way to emerge. (Note: in April & May, the Milky Way does not appear until after midnight, so we will return to Moab after sunset, and head back out late at night. A wee hours tour is available as a standalone tour during this time).

Our favorite part of the tour was Colin taking us to less popular but still stunning parts of Arches Park. My advice is bring layers for nighttime. It was a bit chilly.

I have done a lot of photography but no astrophotography. Colin was extremely knowledgeable and explained what to do and why you do it which helps to be able to remember how to set your camera. He was very patient and pleasant to work with. He also knows the park like the back of his hand and knows where to get the best shots to line up with the Milky Way. I got some great shots and the knowledge of how to do it again on my own. It was well worth it!

Going to Arches is remarkable in and of itself. The opportunity to visit Arches, with a guide and learn to take night sky photos is transcendent. For those of you who love art, photography, nature, expeditions..this is your option - unlike other options. Colin is a thoughtful and expert guide and this was an A+ experience.
