Incredible erosion over the eons

Nov 3 2026 | By: Jim Zuckerman Photography

Factory Butte near Hanksville, Utah, is surrounded by deep fissures in the shale and Bentonite clay radiating outward.  From the ground, you can get a sense of nature’s dramatic graphic design, but to fully appreciate the extent of this unique geological formation it has to be seen from above. This is why I’ve embraced drone photography wholeheartedly.  I now have a tool that affords me amazing photographic opportunities like never before.  I took this shot just before sunrise from an altitude of 197 feet and with a 24mm equivalent lens.  The settings were 1/60, f/1.8, and 120 ISO.  The distance from my shooting position to where the DJI Air 3s drone was capturing images was just under 3 miles.
