Arches National Park at Night Star Trails Photo Workshop

$1,395

Flight Destination: Grand Junction, CO

Previously my annual trips to Arches have coincided with a full moon. But a change was needed to offer something different to go with some of the regular trips that are scheduled.

A new moon will offer the chance to do star trail shots after the sun sets at several formations. Weather permitting, three nights of late night photography of the star trails doing several increments of varying timed exposed lengths are planned. Learn how to do long exposures combined with special lighting to capture images of the formations that add a new dimension to most photographs from here.

Typically a trip to Arches includes excursions for sunrise and sunset shooting. This trip will go away from the standard approach. Instead, the main hours of shooting will be from late evening for sunset shots and then preparing and waiting for star trail images for several hours after sunset, taking full advantage of the dark of night.

After allowing for sleeping in most mornings, trips to do rock art at several locations will be done during the day as well as in-room instructional programs.

One of the four nights will be left out of doing late night shooting so an early morning trip to photograph Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park can be included in the trip. How can a trip to this area not include this popular sunrise location?
