The incredible Bentonite Hills

Nov 1 2026 | By: Jim Zuckerman Photography

I am now in Utah leading a private photo tour to the Bentonite Hills and other spectacular landscapes oriented mostly (but not only) for drone photography. I took this shot this morning under a thick cloud cover and a light drizzle. The Bentonite Hills were formed 150 millions years ago from volcanic ash, and the result was a large area covered in beautiful hills, artistic contours and amazing colors. I didn't embellish the colors in this shot; all I did in post-processing was add contrast to eliminate the mist from the rainy weather conditions. The fact that the Bentonite clay was wet added to the color saturation. My DJI Air 3S drone was 191 feet in altitude and the settings were 1/2500, f/1.8, and 100 ISO. There are two lenses on this drone; this shot was taken with the equivalent of a 24mm wide angle.
