What a brave soul you are… LOL… what a GREAT shot this is… Have heard that Lake Powell is a really neat place, but have never been… yet! ;~) Wonderful composition!
DawsonImages
Nice take on this icon, looks like sunset light?
Globalphotos replied
Thanks, sure is :)
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 :))
Peter Zentjens
I’m starting to think you did the same trip as we did many years ago, but boy, did you capture those places! Kudos.

Love the wide, but not distorted view. Was this between 10 and 12 mm focal length? I have heard that is necessary for this rim shot to get it all in. I hope to have that lens on my trip there.
