The national parks in Utah are a sight to see, but stargazing in the parks is another experience altogether, and having Colin to guide us made all the difference. He knew where to go, and provided tips on framing the shot. He’ll sit back and let you do your thing or help you with camera settings (including the phone). His expertise and patience really shines when it comes to trying to capture the stars and Milky Way. In fact, he was willing to wait and wait and wait (you get my drift) in the hopes that the clouds would clear up so we could capture the Milky Way, It never cleared up completely, but we still had an incredible night time sky for a beautiful shot of Arches park at night time. Thanks for checking this off my kids’ bucket list, Colin! Tips: Bring dinner (sandwich/picnic meal - it’s a 6 hr+ event starting at ~ 5 pm). Most importantly, make sure to bring your tripod. Capturing the stars is impossible without one. Colin had a tripod to spare for the other group that was with us. I brought one but my son used mine.Colin was great. Very skilled photographer, knew the cool spots to shoot, very helpful when I had questions about the best settings on my camera. I would definitely take another tour with him.

It was a bit chilly.

He was a huge help in explaining how to set our cameras to shoot the Milky Way. Fun experience!

For my wife & I, photography is a sporadic hobby that enriches our vacations. Although we have taken photography classes before this is the 1st time we've incorporated a photo tour as an activity. It was so successful that now I want to take one of Colin's workshops. At our next locale, we incorporated what we learned to take more night stargazing photos!Colin was very knowledgeable and patient. He even lent me one of his lens because mine didn't work well for night photography. I would recommend Rock Light Photo Tours to anyone who wants to take their night time photography to the next level.
