    Nice take on this icon, looks like sunset light?

  • Globalphotos replied

    Thanks, sure is :)

  • mlanger

    mlanger

    Yes, I take photographers over Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell at least once a year, doors off, in the helicopter. It’s a tricky spot because of the light. Too early or late in the day and the shadows are very deep. But midday, the whole thing can look pretty flat. I think you did a great job. Late afternoon, right? Keeping the sun out of the shot got the exposure just right.

  • Globalphotos replied

    Wish I knew you before my trip !! I was sitting in a restaurant in Page waiting for the right light, was amazed how quickly the sun went down. Was a very fast run up the steep hill in order to get there in time lol…..... was approx 1900.

    Thank you :))
