Oh boy did I just get that feeling of "need to go back". I have such fond memories of Moab. You got some amazing shots there and I especially loved the last one from Dead Horse Point. The moody sunless one from the overlook at 15:48 is also fantastic!

That is a great image- though I suspect a fair bit of editing. Go back! I went once...then 5 more times. Heading back very soon.
Great video! My son and I were there September 2017 and we were blown away by the beauty. Thanks for sharing. Cool that Thomas Heaton is there. I'll see him at Nature Vision in VA early November.
last picture is a beauty Nick. Good job.
Hi, from the UK. Nice to see you collaborating with one of our boys :) Thomas Heaton is a legend. If your good enough for Tom your good enough for me....subbed :)
It was a pleasure to share those shoots with you...thank you for your help!
I was in Moab this summer. Such a beautiful place. The entire State of Utah is something special. I'm amazed you were able to capture delicate arch with not a single person in your frame! Nice work!
Last time we were there, we went to the Needles district, a total different view. One of our favorite places is Valley of the Gods.
Beautiful video! Thanks Nick! I just found your channel and love your collaboration with Thomas Heaton :)
It was great seeing you and Thomas in a same video.. Love both of your work.
Great video Nick love the music very fitting.. So nice to meet you. GREAT Photos as well
That last photo of the canyon is spectacular. As a primarily a landscape photographer I have learned to take fewer photos and enjoy just the experience of seeing it in person. Your photos are the next best thing to being there. It really shows in the videos how much you enjoy capturing the images as well as being in such beautiful spot. Thanks and looking forward to the next video.
Hey Nick, absolutely stunning scenes capturing the light so well. Thanks for sharing, Trev
Just watched Heaton's video of the same day, you guys have an awesome time. Arches can be tough, you have to get the light just right, especially when the sky is clear.
Great video Nick, I really enjoy watching you photograph some stunning scenery. Also a big Hello to Thomas Heaton
I really enjoyed the video and the amazing photos! Very realistic colors and tones through them all, keep up the great work!
Thanks Nick, I really enjoyed this video. I'm impressed with this location it's obviously a photographers playground.
Nice work as always Nick! I'm sooo jealous of those who were able to attend!
I like how the first video I've seen from you in a bit has Thomas Heaton, another youtuber/photographer I really enjoy watching! Keep up the good work Nick!

No, I just live at the Jersey Shore, and know what assholes real tourists are, and are like !
Great video, as always, Nick. Super light at Dead Horse, especially for another one of the perpetually "rainy" days during the workshop!! Really paid off to wait for the sun to get up. Thanks for putting it together!
Loved the tunes in this one Nick and loved those long lens shots through the sandstone canyons. Great to see you and Thomas in a video together! That conference would have been so much fun. Maybe you guys should have stayed out for Astro with skies that clear on that first night! Dude that shot from dead horse point early in the morning was just money! Great composition and complimentary light. I cant wait to return to the US and head back to the NP throughout utah. Loved Arches when i was there last, but there is just so much to see! Might be lucky enough to return in 2019.
Wow , beautiful images, great video as always
It looks like you had a ball there. Definitely worth it for you to go back on your own for a true photo trip Nick.
Enjoy your work. The #1 landscape photographer I follow. Keep it up.
Great video of great memories Nick. I like the way you come up over the rock horizon as you approach Delicate Arch...dramatic and cool effect! And your photos...Man! Gorgeous!
Lovely shots and a great video from you, as ever.
Great Vlog Nick, never easy when you have a group to keep happy and to make sure they are all getting some good shots.
Really enjoyed this one Nick. Music and everything. Nice job
Love that shot Nick. Gorgeous tones that really suite the colour of the landscape :)
Great episode Nick, WOW, ....You and Thomas Heaton in the same workshop, that would have been great to be there!
Thanks Nick. I always enjoy your videos. Your images are great and I always learn something. Got nervous for you all on the edge of the cliff. Played havoc with my vertigo. 😊
Have been there twice, and once had Mesa Arch to myself at sunrise. Wonderful place to photograph, especially in winter. (I went in December both times.)
So cool to see two nice guys creating stuff together :)
I love your compositions nick!
Now we know what Tom was up to in the USA (-; Great shots from an amazing location!!!!
Very nice video. I just subscribed and look forward to checking out your other videos. I was actually in Moab the same time as the conference for my son's fall break. We were tent camping so it was a bit chilly but always a beautiful place to visit.
It was awesome experience shooting with you all in Moab. Looking forward to Oregon next October.
Great video, awesome images.
I was there a week before you Nick. Bailed to go to CO when I saw all the predictions for Rosa dumping on UT. Been there, done that in ‘98 with another Pacific hurricane that flooded Zion & Bryce. Looks like it wasn’t as bad as they were predicting. Can’t complain though, the San Juans in Co were pretty awesome that week.
I did a trip very similar to this, even stayed in the same hotel lol, Moab is absolutely stunning, worth to go 100%.
good to see a new video and sime great images plus bonus a cameo . from . mr heaton you need come over to the uk . make a series with thomas
Every image in this video was a total stunner! I'm stuck with either forests or jungles where I live (Alaska and Thailand) so the desert scenes are especially juicy to my eyes. Don't get me wrong - both locales have lots to offer but I'm still a bit jealous. Great work, Nick!
Looks like a great time! I think that last shot you got was the best. Such gorgeous light on those cliffs! Side note: I really enjoyed the podcast of the live Q&A from the conference. One day I hope to join ya'll there!
Really digging the “on the scene” vlogging. Looks amazing.
Great video super images..
Wow. I really liked some of the images you posted in this video. The wide angle one of the canyon with the sun peeking through the clouds had a lot of gravity to it. It's so hard to get those wide angles to have impact, but you nailed it. Well done!
I love your photography Nick - for me the blue sky contrast with the desert rock colour (orange complimentary to blue) rocks that star burst sun arch image!
Really enjoyed this 👍🏽👏🏽
Hey Nick. Great images mate. That a7Rlll packs a mighty punch in terms of detail and dynamic range. Great stuff! Regards Ewan
I just discovered your channel through seeing you on Michael Heaton's. I'm really digging your photographic style. Gives me some ideas, and it's fun to watch you vids.
Awesome photo shots Nick
Damn good to see Thomas with you Nick. You guys should collaborate more. Maybe a workshop.
Well done Nick, well done.
Always enjoy your videos Nick. Down to earth PNW guy and I get the tourist annoyance. Just got back from Banff and there were tour buses everywhere dispensing selfie-stick “photographers” around every corner. I had a difficult time with the oblivious nature of most of the tourists as I try to be more discreet when I’m visiting a place away from home but it’s public land and there is no sense in complaining about it because we all have the right to enjoy it and it isn’t going to change. One can only hope that people realize their actions affect the experience for all.
Love your pictures
Thanks for a fun and interesting video. Love Moab. We hiked to Corona and Bowtie arch before sunrise. Had to wear headlamps to find our way, but it was the coolest part of the day and sunrise on the arch was fabulous. Also, notice the desert varnish that is behind you. Looks like a crowd of people - interesting abstract shot for next time.

Nice that way the mountain lions can see you coming! They most definitely are there in mass. I see their prints all the time in the canyons we hike- like Long Canyon. Especially by water sources and any canyon that has bh sheep.
Wonderful video, Nick. That last location you were at was astounding. It really shows how beautiful this world really is.

I enjoy your work a lot, beach, forest and desert. Pls can you give the link to the music at the end of the video, go so well with your images. Thanks.
Good video. All my favorite You Tubers were at that conference.
Really nice video, Nick. I know it was rushed but somehow I think it is an exceptionally good tutorial on scouting and composition. I feel I learned a lot about how your images end up being so compelling. All I would add is that the scenery in the Southwest is dominated by complementary colors: green foliage, blue sky, and rocks that range from yellow to red. Sunsets add more of the same palette. I have noticed that ANY blue sky adjacent to Southwest rocks creates an image point that attracts the eye. You clearly understand that, but I had to learn this rule the hard way.
As usual, landscape photographers testing my vertigo threshold and then walking along cliffs in the dark. Last week, Heaton was doing it in the alps. I'm all puckered out. That said, nice video and great images! Rock on!
Man that is a beautiful place!
Nicely done! I need to learn to mask and exposure blend. And just the way you talked about it in this helped me to understand it more than before. Thanks.

Use affinity photo- it makes it easy. I am a noobie and can do it- just upload and hit a button. The trick is taking them with your camera. Shoot your hand first so you know where the series begins.
Awesome video Nick
Nick, your soundtrack is phenomenal when you make these vids. What's the name of the track while you were overlooking the canyon during the sunrise? I could use a playlist like this when I'm out solo looking for some awesome scenes
Absolutely stunning Nick! (Does he still say that?) Seriously, this was a stunning video! Loved your music choices and the photos were gorgeous! Wish I was there!
I was there last June in both Arches and Canyonlands. I got a cool shot there at the Green River Overlook and it actually got published in a local magazine! Got a few great Milkyway images also. I want to go there next year and send at least a week there exploring!! GREAT video!!!

with that lens you could have shot mars. gave up on finding a good zoom for my upcoming moab trip- 18-140mm it is. Nikon 200-500 is $1,000 which is too rich for me!
The images feel quite moody and dark to me, not in a bad way just the the feeling I get. Then again it could be a perception of how I’m feeling. 😂...I have yet to make it out to dead horse but it’s looking like a must now. Thanks for sharing Nick.

Aw, man! I was in Moab for the first time ever back in June! I missed this! And June was intense; 100 degrees, no clouds. I almost died...

Head back in March- it's nicer and less crowds. I have gone now about 6 times- headed back again very soon.
Unfortunately, it looks like I missed a great trip. I love Moab and try to get there every year or so to photograph it. Very few things can match the majesty of a sunset at the Green River Overlook or a sunrise at the Mesa Arch. FWIW, I always try to time my trips to be near the new moon so that I can also do some Milky Way photography as well. I wish I had known about the Out of Moab conference.
get vertigo just watching your video looking down, when I shot horseshoe bend I had to crawl up to shoot over the edge I was so freaked out...
What's the title of that music at 1:00sec? Love it! Great video, lots to see and learn. Appreciate the sharing!
Man I was there in March and it is hard to photograph. The lighting is hard there. The problem trying to do landscape photography on a family trip is that nobody wants to wait an hour for the good light.

I know, the problems are caused if you can only afford one family holiday per year (either financially, time wise or whatever), then you cannot sneak out before sunrise and be recked for the rest of the day. Neither they let you get back and sleep. Nor you can leave them at dinner to shoot the sunset. So you end up doing family holiday snap shots in crappy light and they still complain that you ask them to pose, etc. :-) One solution is that I shoot the family for a couple of hours doing their own thing (e.g. at the beach) so to have descent family photos from the holidays and then just shoot interiors / under shade; e.g. churches, markets, castles. Then maybe I sneak out or disappear; e,g, while they are window shopping. True being able to go somewhere nice/photogenic on you own is priceless and I think it is the biggest difference with the pros. They can get at a location at optimal conditions, and if it doesn't work go there again and again until they get that portfolio image. They can justify this in terms of the earning from that image (be it calendars, instruction, poster...). Enthusiasts can rarely afford this.

I've stopped trying to combine landscape photography with family events, they arent compatible.
Great video Nick, but I swear the climb to Delicate Arch was a lot steeper when you lead us up there for Out of Moab.
Great video Nick. You could spend a lifetime photographing only in Utah and never get bored. When are you doing another Oregon/Washington Coast trip?
Nice shots. Did you use a rail for the pano's? I plan to stitch several pics for pano in Moab soon. I have a focus rail (I use for macro) and just figured out my camera placement measurements on the rail in order to avoid parallux errors.
What was your go-to lens for wide vistas such as Moab (not including stitched panoramas)? I am finding my 16-35 lends distracting distortions at the perimeters. If I crop or straighten in LR I lose a lot of the composition. I got more pleasing images during my recent Acadia trip with my 24-70.
So Nick..can you tell us what focal length you found MOST useful (Prime or Zoom) on your trip. Nice video, love those places.

I was wondering the same thing....,
Hello! I found you through Gavin / Thomas / Micheal Shainblum.. was supposed to go to Arches this March, but it's all cancelled now. is that Corona Arch?
Moab is epic... I live in Central UT. Utah is the best!
Cool video
The first arch. Since you’re outside of Moab National park, are we able to fly drones there?
Hello Nick, would just love to be on one of your workshops they look like they could be fun. Especially, when you can push - off unwanted spectators lol.... Great photographs to boot...
I wonder how many extra miles you add setting up your camera for coming and going clips.
Thommy boy, again couldn't resist taking the english weather with him..!
You do realize that Ryan guy brought the rain with him from Colorado. He then took it with him to WV.....lol...but I love to shoot in the light rain.
@nickpage “have to push them off the ledge”. I get it! Lol! 😂
I really enjoyed that place. Someone flew his drone up through bow tie arch and lost control. It landed/ crashed up above the opening.
2 subjects in the frame hmmm, what about the rule of odds ? :D Anyway, great to see you guys enjoying Utah. I travelled there a few years ago, and as a hiker who likes solitude, the Needles part of Canyonlands was the best area here. For photographers there's a lot of opportunities too, it's so varied... Try Druid Arch or Confluent Overlook. They involve quite a bit of hiking however, but you can do both of them as day hikes. Glenn Randall has taken a stunning image of Druid Arch. Green River Overlook is in the "Island in the Sky" part of Canyonlands, it's more crowded because very easily accessed. Did you have to photoshop people out of your Delicate Arch shot ? When I was here, it was crowded but people were nice enough to understand others didn't want them being under the arch, so they took one selfie and left quickly to let less self-centered people photograph it in its natural state.

rules are meant to be broken. There were hundreds of pics yet you commented on this one. Hmmm. I guess it stood out from the pack!
I was just out there. Dead Horse and Arches among many others.
Hi Nick, were you using a filter to shoot the sunstar with the arch? When I shoot and try to get a sunstar I often get a lens flare that provides terrible colors in the image that keeps it from being a clean crisp image. Any thoughts?
So anyone know what that first song was? What a cool track! Would love to find it! Great video Nick!
