An iconic shot of Monument Valley is the Totem Pole formation with sand dunes in the foreground at sunrise. My photo tour group and I photographed this a couple of days ago, and it was tough finding an area of the sand where other tourists hadn't disturbed the beautiful designs in the sand. After a few minutes running around the desert I found some good areas and we all got the kind of classic shots one would want from such a beautiful place. My settings for this were 1/25, f/22 (for complete depth of field which all landscape shots require), and 500 ISO. I used a tripod, a 7-frame HDR composite, and a 24-105mm lens.
