Moab Utah
Moab Utah - Mesa Arch This is a two staged photograph. At dawn the Mesa Arch is literally swamped with people wanting to witness the sun passing through the arch. It becomes very difficult or highly unlikely to be able to photograph the event without blockage. The second day I planed ahead and first took a photo of the sun from a vantage point about 5 yards to the right of the arch at the same time it passing through the arch, itself. After the sun passes through the Mesa folks walk away and left me with an non populated arch STILL with the glow of the sun. I then took the Mesa picture and in post processing matched the two images and now have my golden Arch with sun shining through. It's the same sun on the same day the time difference is about 5 mins.
Moab Utah -The daunting Canyon - Near Dead Horse Park
The peaks of La Sal. They reach about 12,000 feet. The eastern rim of Canyonlands offered this view as the sun was going down.You can also see the moon rising on the upper right section of the photo. If you want to see the entire horizontal image click on the photo which was taken with a 200-500mm and cropped a bit to bring it forward
Moab Utah Arches - Name only known as The passage due to what was heard and that this was the quick and easy way to proceed to another section of Arches.
Moab Utah Arches - The Delicate Arch, an unbelievable formation of nature.
Once again the peaks of La Sal. This was taken with the same 200-500mm at sunset but not cropped but using the extended range.
Moab Utah Arches - Can't recall the name , if it had one, of this formation but it had volume and sky - I had to capture the image.
Moab Utah Arches - One of the Balanced Rock formations. I can't recall the name of this extraordinary tower of strength. All I can recall was the beautiful sky and making sure I stepped way back and not lean on any of this while I photographed . Its great!.
