Rainbow Horseshoe

[Kyle Jones]

I just got back from a few days in Kanab and Page, which included several stops at Horseshoe Bend. While each sunset was nice, the light was unspectacular. Sunday morning was our last shot. There was some clearing to the east and stormy clouds to the west so I was really hoping for some great pre-dawn color. That didn't happen, but we did get something special as the sun crested the horizon...

I had to grab my 11mm lens to get everything into the scene. Any thoughts are welcome.

Love it Kyle! You totally scored on that trip, and what an awesome way to wrap up your trip.

 

[AlanLichty]

Definitely not your usual shot of the Horseshoe - nice catch.

 

[Ben Egbert]

One of the best and most unique shots of Horsehoe I have seen.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Lots of drama here. Yeah you scored one alright.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Sweet!

Great capture .

Well, even for the high bar you have set with all of your previous excellent postings, this one stands out as a breathtaking example of being at the right place at the right time, and maybe having a little bit of luck to add that 'cherry on the top'. Really amazing shot! Can't say enough good things about it.

Thanks everyone - this definitely drove home the value of planning multiple days to shoot the same subject. There's no better way to give yourself a chance for something special. I'm playing with a comp I actually like a little better, although it doesn't have the full rainbow. New post coming soon...

 

[Dave Dillemuth]

Spectacular capture, Kyle. Yeah, a time intensive pursuit. Have to be willing to put the time in to come away with something special.
