Great Photography Spots In Vermillion Cliffs National Monument

Slot canyon photography Unlike most landscape photography, the best slot canyon shooting is most likely to happen on just such a sunny day when the sun is either directly or close to being positioned just overhead. When the sunlight is streaming through the narrow opening above you and directly striking one wall of the canyon, its warm glow can often reflect onto the opposite wall. It is exactly that reflected (in some cases, re-reflected) light striking the multi-hued rock that provides the best images. Using contrasts of both color and light, varying your compositions can result in a great selection of original and artistic images. As a rule of thumb, the best results are often those that exclude the sky. This iconic form may be the star of the South Coyote Buttes, reached only after a tricky drive requiring four-wheel drive and good clearance.
