032 - Horseshoe Bend Star Trails, Page Arizona
Star-trails over Horseshoe Bend. Its gratifying in some way for me as a photographer to come across symmetry in nature - and Horseshoe Bend is definitely one of those places. I've done a lot of shooting in the deserts of the southwest in the middle of the night but this has got to be one of the most dangerous. Thats because I have to hike around the edge of an 800 ft ledge, equipment in hand, setting up and moving the tripod around to find the right frame - all without stumbling over the edge and screaming all the way down. As a safety thing, I regularly try to visualize that happening in order to wrap my head around that very real potential. And it has worked ... so far.
