In honor of Earth Day (April 22), we’re shining the spotlight on the Four Elements: Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire! This month on ISO, you’ll find stories about the best 500px photographs that capture these four elements in a groundbreaking way—and the crop of talented photographers behind the shot. You can follow all our Four Elements posts on social media with the hashtag #PlanetPX. Let’s start with our First Element of the Week—WIND!
Red Bull Photography recently joined our community with a verified brand profile of their own. This partnership isn’t just about amazing photography—it’s also about amazing stories. Behind every shot on Red Bull Photography is a talented photographer, a wild story, and a few lessons learned. We’ll be telling those stories every week here on 500px ISO and the Red Bull Photography website. Scroll down for the story behind this thrilling Golden Hour shot, courtesy of the Red Bull Content Pool.
A once in a lifetime opportunity is what this week’s spotlight image is.
Whilst in the U.S. for the Red Bull Air Race, the pilots—Kirby Chambliss, Nicolas Ivanoff, and Matthias Dolderer—needed to ferry their planes to the season final in Las Vegas. In doing so, they had the possibility of flying over Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park in Utah.
Taken by photographer Joerg Mitter, I think we can all agree that with a sunset like that, it really was the perfect golden shot. Good work!
