Incredible otherworldly sandstone formations in a very remote area of northern Arizona, at morning twilight. Looks best on black.

I’ve been wanting to get out here for years, having been inspired by others’ images of this seemingly alien landscape. There are many locations in the American southwest where taffy- or candy-like formations can be found, but I still haven’t seen anything that compares to the combination of sharp folds and color contrasts of this particular geologic marvel, so adeptly showcasing the forces of time.

Although it was a great time coming out here with my friends Joe and Scotty, crushing the notoriously rough 4×4 roads with ease in our monster of a vehicle, we arrived with only an hour to scout before sunset, and only stayed one night. Therefore, without much time to find something 100% unique, I chose to shoot the formations that interested me most, despite knowing they’d been photographed before. Additionally, with nary a cloud in the sky, I wanted to focus on areas that had an abundance of visual interest in the land portion, which would be complemented well by featureless or starry blue skies. Hopefully my interpretation is able to stand on its own. I know I’ll be back here again, as the photographic possibilities are endless.

Stormy Morning by edwardreese

Black and white version of a sunrise at Portland Head Light. Used a 10 stop filter to extend the shutter speed.

Bombo Dawning by GaryPHayes

Still finding new ways to process this shoot. Although this wasn’t a blend just put a FB description of my simple technique when I need to blend vs HDR…

This moment just before the sunrise is photographed by the same pond in the same morning as one of my previous uploads (“03.30 in the morning).
