Wow, what a magnificent capture! Were you in a helicopter? A perfect shot. Pardon my ignorance, where is this? I live at the bottom south eastern side of Australia.

I've been there, is called Gooseneck National Park in Utah. We had arrived at nightime, just camped there overnight but the next morning when we woke up, this is the view we had, just stunning!!

This is the first photograph on this site that I've considered buying a print of. Excellent capture, outstanding. Have you sold any prints of this?

Location
Horseshoe bend of the Colorado River. Approximately five miles outside of Page, AZ. The last time I was there, there was only a small sign so it's rather difficult to findTime
About 4PM in January. The sun was getting lowLighting
As you can see, the sun was behind me but anytime other than high noon will provide great shotsEquipment
Canon 40D, 28 to 105mm lens, tripodInspiration
I had seen so many beautiful photographs of horseshoe bend that I had to make the trip. Awe-inspiring sight.Editing

It's about a three-quarter mile walk over some rough terrain to get there. Expect lots of company; it has become very popular. The last time I was there (Jan 2014) there was no barrier so please be very careful. If you could get there in the late afternoon with, hopefully, some clouds on the horizon prepare for a thrill. 2/2019 update. I just heard that someone plummeted over the edge and died. Apparently, there is still no fence. So PLEASE be careful!
