Double Arch

Seen at Arches National Park, Utah

 

Double Arch takes its name because of it consists of two arches that share the same stone as a foundation for both of their outer legs. Double Arch was formed by downward water erosion from atop the sandstone, rather than from side-to-side water erosion.

 

I know many photographers shun midday lighting as being bleak and boring, I often challenge myself to create interesting images when I travel daytime and it is impractical to wait for better conditions. It was my first time exploring desert photography while visiting Utah’s National Parks. I started my trip at the breathtaking Arches National Park. But unfortunately, I left it with some disappointing pictures and a heavy heart. I afterward had been observing and experimenting till I figured out some ways to avoid the pitfalls of monotony and work with whatever light I encountered, whether it be midday sun or a deep canyon. I was lucky that the road trip allowed me to loop back at the end of the trip to where I started and offered me a second learning opportunity to capture the incredible beauty of Arches National Park.
