Photo: Hoodoos Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument Utah

Panorama of a fascinating red rock formation in Devils Garden, the Hoodoos, of Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument in Utah, USA

I always loved my time I spent photographing in the USA, especially in the Southwest. The landscape is unique and photogenic "subjects" can be found quit easy. I took this panorama photo of the Hoodoos, a red rock stone formation in Devils Garden of Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument in Utah, USA, lightyears ago.

If I remember right then I took it on a scouting trip for a Marlboro travel movie in Germany. I actually got the contract later myself to film the movie. Marlboro Travel was quit a large travel company which one of there most successful tours was a van tour with tents.

I was hired to film a "nature travel lifestyle movie" about one of those van/tent tours.

If I ever find the time I may tell you more about that whole movie production, it was fun and a big challenge (I actually won a film price with it too).

Anyway, I photographed this panorama of the Hoodoos in Devils Garden in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument with my Fuji 617 on (surprise) 6x17cm on a Fuji Velvia slide film, I scanned the pano on my Hasselblad X5 as a 16 bit .tiff.
