Some photography tips for capturing Utah's Red Rock Country on film.
Here's How:
- Head for red rock country. Any of Utah's National Parks will do.
- Camp. It allows you to be right in the landscape, and makes it easier to get to photo spots for sunrise and sunset.
- Use a film with a good compromise of film speed and grain to get the sharpest picture.I suggest a film around 100 ASA.
- Use a tripod to get the steadiest shots.
- Use a warming filter when shooting in the middle of the day. (This filter will reduce the blue castyou will get in the shadows).
- Pay attention to your composition. Don't get carried away because it is so beautiful there. Think aboutwhat you are trying to say with your photograph.
Tips:
- It is best to get there in the early morning or late evening when the light is best.
- Get a good field guide so that you can identify the plants and animals you encounter.
- If possible, spend more than 1 day, and use the first day as a 'scouting' day. Find out where the sun rises and sets, and scout out potential locations.
