Potash pools

Nov 12 2026 | By: Jim Zuckerman Photography

These are potash pools just outside of Moab, Utah. They are evaporation pools used to extract mostly potassium chloride which is used as a fertilizer, dietary sodium substitute, and more. The colors change depending on the stage of the process. I took this shot with a 24mm wide angle equivalent lens on my DJI Air 3s drone from 319 feet, and the camera settings were 1/4000, f/1.8, and 100 ISO. On this drone, I can't adjust the aperture, thus the shutter is high in bright light due to the f/1.8 aperture. Having said that, the aperture on any drone is essentially irrelevant because depth of field is almost never a factor.
