Hoodoos, Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
Hoodoos are the spires that give Bryce Canyon its other-worldly appearance. These formations are pinnacles and strangely shaped rocks left standing by the forces of erosion. When you descend into the canyon and wander among the hoodoos, it is a visual treat guaranteed to give you a sore neck. In the early morning, sunlight plays off the hoodoo tops while many places on the canyon floor remain in cool shadows. To get this shot, I framed the sky with hoodoos and metered off the highlights, leaving the foreground to make a shadowed frame around soaring red stone columns.
Photo tip: Bryce Canyon faces east, so early morning is best for shots with low, raking light. Sunrise and sunset times are posted daily at the visitor center.
