Just finished an amazing aerial still and video shoot in central Utah. Morning started off bone cold and the further north we flew into the valley we were shooting, the more the temps dropped. Temperature at the heliport was in the low forties, on location it was 33 with a nice 9 knot wind that jumped up to 15 knots when the sun broke the horizon. Can not show the pics yet, but the light was incredible, a mixture of hard crisp morning sunshine with a high layer of cirrus to diffuse the light into patterns of dark and brightness.
The evening before the shoot, I scouted a location that is a Utah state park near St. George. Snow Canyon is a small park with a lovely drive and plenty of trails to explore. The red rock cliffs are impressive. Well worth a side trip if you are visiting Zion or southern Utah.
