Delicate Arch

Sony A1, Voigtlander 65mm f/2 APO

 

Taken at Delicate Arch, Arches National Park outside Moab, Utah

 

Caught in morning light. For lens choice, 50mm to 65mm on a full-frame camera is pretty good. It lends itself to a straight landscape shot or pano. I took wider shots with the Voigtlander 35/2 APO, tight panos with my Voigtlander 180/4 APO (135mm may have been a little better), and a few up close with my Sigma 14-24. Bring a light tripod because the hike is vigorous.

 

April is a good time to visit. The background mountains have snow, which is nice. It was really cold at the parking lot, but I was sweaty at the top. It helps to hike in the dark to avoid the crowds. By 9am, this place is a zoo.
