I first discovered this shot composition back in 2020; and for four years after I would endlessly chase it with different weather conditions. I've seen people try to replicate it, but I'm still stoked that my secret spot remains...

The way the sunset light burns out in Utah... hard to beat
Captured this one inside the incredible Dead Horse Point State Park -- this park is often overlooked by it's nearby neighbors but is a must visit if you're in the area or driving by it. #utah #landscapephotography #sonyimages #sonyalpha
