LOCATION
1. Canyonlands National Park is about a 6 hour drive from Denver.
2. Candlestick Tower's location can be found on the map they give you when entering the park.
3. Moab is a good place to stay nearby.
THE CHALLENGE
Before entering a national park, I check out the postcards to see what's the main attractions and how
they are photographed. Then I try to shoot something different and that was the plain with Candlestick
Tower.
SOLUTION
1. I visited the tower a number of times during the day and pretty much shot the same pictures that where
on the postcards.
2. Right after the sun set, the canyon and my subject took an erie look, the tower was black but the
background took a purple/blue look.
3. This was the shot I didn't see on postcards, now I had to capture it.
4. My camera, with a 70/200 zoom was put on a tripod and I used a cable release.
5. I took a tight light reading on the background and then used those same readings when I took the shot.
