We will visit at least four locations for photography in iconic Arches National Park for the afternoon golden hour and sunset. I have traveled extensively in search of amazing photographic locations, and it is hard to beat Arches National Park for the wide variety of photographic locations, and it is an official international Dark Skies park. During the busy season, I will lead the tour to locations that are less well known but still spectacular. I will show you great locations, and make suggestions on composition and subject matter. I can even help you with your camera settings if you are a beginner. After sunset. we will take a brief break for a picnic and go over camera settings for night photography while we wait for the Milky Way to emerge. (Note: in April & May, the Milky Way does not appear until after midnight, so we will return to Moab after sunset, and head back out late at night. A wee hours tour is available as a standalone tour during this time).

We did two sessions with Colin—a morning session at Canyonlands and an evening/nighttime shoot at Arches. Colin was great— accommodated my skills, helped me find compositions, gave me a great introduction to astrophotography. He’s personable and knowledgeable. Recommend him highly.

I booked Rocklight Photo Tours for a Sunset photography tour and again, for a night hike and photography at the Delicate Arch in Arches National Park. My experience was awesome. The sunset photography tour was led by Geremy and he was funny, intelligent and helpful. He has a unique capability of giving you feedback without coming across as condescending. A very sweet chap and whether you learn photography or not, you will enjoy his company. MY second experience was with Colin Young. I had two tours with him. One was a normal night sky photography tour and another was the Delicate Arch Tour. He led me up to the Delicate Arch in the dead of the night. Boy, was I glad I went with him! If I had gone solo, I'd still be trapped somewhere up there on the mountain! Once we reached our photography point, he gave helped me get the best possible shot of the Milky Way and the Delicate Arch. Later, he gave me some advice for more photography around Arches National Park as I wanted to continue shooting. Very helpful and highly recommended.

We had an absolutely amazing experience on this sunset and nigh photography tour. We actually did two tours with this operator: this one and the Night Photography Tour. For both tours, our guides, Colin and Geremy, were everything you could hope for: informative, fun, and incredibly helpful. Their deep knowledge of night photography — especially the subtleties and tricks of astrophotography — really helped us take our skills to the next level. What really stood out was their patience and ability to teach. No question was too basic, and they created a relaxed, supportive environment throughout. Beyond photography, both guides had an impressive understanding of the history, geology, and unique features of Arches National Park, which added so much depth to the experience. If you’re interested in learning more about night photography in one of the most stunning settings imaginable, I can’t recommend this tour enough!
