These hoodoos are found 20 minutes from Page, south off highway 89. A very beautiful spot, accessible with four wheel drive only. Taken at sunset, this image shows the warm colors imparted by the setting sun, which are a nice contrast to the cooler shaded areas. Even the shaded areas have nice warm colors, which would not be as prevalent in the mid day sun. Being a fine art landscape photographer demands that one rises very early in the morning for sunrise shots, which for us was about 4:30 in the morning, but thankfully sunset shots and late afternoon shots can be taken at a more bearable time. Our group of photographers rose everyday very early, drove to our chosen location in the dark, hiked to the viewpoint in the dark, and set up before the sun rose. We then had a quick breakfast, went to our next destination by about 11:00, which in our case was a slot canyon, shot there for about 3 hours, and retreated for lunch. The afternoon was spent having discussions about the art of photography and print critiquing for about two hours, and then we would head out for our next shooting location, culminating in the sunset shoot. Then the cycle would repeat itself, for a total of 4 days.
