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).

Colin was a real nice guy but spending this much money I expected him to do a little more helping with our photography more then taking pics with his camera. A little disappointing.

Margaret, Sorry you were disappointed in the tour. I appreciate the feedback! People who take my tours vary widely in experience, and it is sometimes hard to figure out how much help they want or need if they don't explicitly ask for help. I always try to answer questions and share my knowledge when I can.

Seeing the comet is one of the highlights in lifetime. The comet, the big dipper, milky way, new moon over huge rocks are most amazing scenes.

Colin was our guide over two days in Moab, UT. We took pictures at sunrise in Canyonlands and nighttime in the Arches and it was just an incredible experience. I am a novice photographer with basic camera equipment and this experience helped me to grow in my skill. Colin taught me important things about composition, using certain filters to make the colors pop, pointed out different angles, helped me understand my camera settings and so on. He was a gracious host, thinking ahead of our needs with cold water on the ready, pulling over to the side of the road to show us little secret views and taking us to some of the most amazing photo spots in the parks. The night time shoot of the Milky way was unforgettable. I had so many comments from my friends and family about the gorgeous nighttime sky. He showed me how to set the camera and focus so I can take some really great shots. The other people on the tour were more experienced and had better cameras, they took some amazing shots.
