The story behind the image
We visited the Kodachrome Basin State Park during a stopover enroute from Torrey to Bryce to get some rest. Of course, as a photographer I was attracted by the name of the Park – Kodachrome was film giant Kodak’s richly colored slide film that was perfectly suited to reproduce the color spectrum of the rock formations in varying shades of red, yellow, and brown, in combination with the deep blue sky.
While this image was captured on Fuji Sensia slide film, the colors do come across quite nicely. The late afternoon sunlight illuminated the red rocks and the perfectly clear presented itself in dark saturated blue.
While it is ‘just’ a State Park, it is an exciting place to visit.
