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).

Meeting and Pickup
I can meet you at any hotel or campground in Moab (not Castle Valley), or I can also meet you at the Moab or Arches Visitors Center. Note, I only have room for 4 passengers + gear comfortably in my vehicle, so only the first four people to sign up for this tour get driven by me. Others must drive their own vehicle (and follow me).
