Sunrise at Mesa Arch, Canyonlands NP, Moab, Utah
This is the 'follow up' to my previous 'Sardines' shot. When researching Mesa Arch I'd read that the majority of the 'Sardines' leave the site within about 5mins of the sun rising. However, for those in the know if you wait around for another 20-30mins the sun starts to light up the underside of the arch and this is THE shot most Togs look for. It really is amazing just what a small amount of research and/or patience can give you. OK, most places won't have this extreme difference but I bet any pro/serious amateur knows of some shots they got only because they had done some research first and/or waited to see what would happen.
I can certainly say that for my visit the above image was a much more pleasant shooting experience.
This photo at A3+ size is now hanging on the wall in the lounge and serves as a reminder of both the individual shoot but also my last foreign trip and a pre-Covid/Putin's War world.
