Photography in Canyon de Chelly

Next Day Next N    

Monday, 16 October 2023 - Arrived in Chinle, Northern Arizona for a Canyon de Chelly photography workshop, attended briefing with professional photographer LeRoy DeJolie, and photographed sunset at Tsegi Overlook capturing the canyon walls, Blade Rock, and creek bed in vibrant light before returning to the hotel for dinner.

Our first photo opportunity was sunset at the Tsegi Overlook. The overlook is on the South Rim drive - one of seven overlooks and the second one from the visitor center.

The setting sunlight on the canyon wall.

The sun still touching the top of the canyon. Chinle Creek is dry at this time of year. The trees were just showing some color - we were about a week early to catch the full color.

The sunlight at the top of the cliffs shining on a hole in the rock. Later from the creek bed I would photograph the hole in the rock from the other side.

The patterns on the canyon walls would continue to intrigue me in color and in black and white.

The sun is down and Canyon de Chelly in the lingering light.

The rocks are alive with color. Blade Rock is the sharp-edged rock in the center.

Hard to stop taking pictures - finally we were called back to return to the hotel for dinner.
