The Southwest of the United States is one of the dreamiest landscapes on the planet. The reds, greens and spectacular skies make for one stunning photographic canvas. This particular expedition covers two of my favorite parks: Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.
In Arches, every land feature is unique, requiring a specific photographic approach. It is here where we spend nights chasing the Milky Way, the thunderstorms and light painting these magnificent structures such as Mesa, Turret, and Skyline arches. Canyonlands is a mecca for panoramas. The vast overviews of both the Colorado and Green River canyons provide the right elements for multilayer panoramas infused with dawn and dusk pastels. Driving down the steep curves of Potash road provides a unique view to the formation of this alter-universe.
