Sunset lights up the desert sand dunes in front of "Totem Pole" and "Ye Bi Chei" in Monument Valley, part of the Navajo Nation.
Yei bi chei, or Yeibichai, are supernatural beings in Navajo culture who created the Navajo people and taught them how to live in harmony with the universe.
The Totem Pole was once a very popular rock climbing spot, the last time it was climbed was during the filming of Client Eastwoods movie triller "The Eiger Sanction" in 1975, and only after they agreed to clear the mountainside of all the pitons from previous climbing expeditions.
I was here for a workshop to shoot the annular solar eclipse in 2023. It was a treat to get this close to these monuments, you can shoot them from far away on part of the 17 mile drive in the park, but if you want to get closer or shoot them at night you will need to get a Navajo Guide.

This moment had me thinking of the old Jiffy Pop Popcorn. The sky appears filled with the popping corn, while below a burner is hot from the element on a stove. The thought helped me think of what was important to the narrative and the composition then followed.
I often stress that finding a story is important to an image. After doing so, the compositional elements fall into place. Next time you are out, try thinking of a narrative before the composition. That way you may create a more emotional image, one that may also translate to the viewer.
