Yup, this is an icon in photography terms... I had nice weather for sunset but was just 5 min. LATE !! The light on the arch had just faded when my buddy and myself finally got here. I think this is nice enough to share with you all, but I look forward to going back again in the next year and trying to get a more dynamic version.
Change of hue and texture. Re-edited to soften the texture in the background. I think it an improvement on Delicate Grass 1 - maybe needing a square crop?
A view of Delicate Arch in the morning. A more unusual vantage point. I kind of had low expectations for this location, but for once, the grandeur of being there in person exceeded my expectations. I hope the color turned out all right on this, I have to really bump up the color from what I see on the 64 bit system. It looks great with a lower saturation of color with the 64 bit. Hopefully, I did not overdo it here. It may vary from screen to screen...HAPPY EASTER SUNDAY

This is a different perspective and take on the famous statue of the gang of Kampung (village) boys jumping into the Singapore river near the Fullerton Hotel.
The hotel had several tenants before it came to being - the General Post Office, the Singapore Club and several government departments.
A great place to visit, even if you are not staying there.

Probably the most famous arch in the world and one of the most popular in the park. Didn't have high expectations of any shots from this day as it was very overcast and extremely windy...didn't expect a shot like this and thought I came home defeated that day uptil I started processing the shots a few days ago.
I was also glad that people were very respectful of the fact that others traveled from all parts of the world and would like to get a clean shot of the arch. Cheers to all those folks!

Delicate Arch is 60-foot-tall freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah, USA. It is the most widely recognized landmark in Arches National Park and is depicted on Utah license plates and on a postage stamp commemorating Utah's centennial anniversary of admission to the Union in 1996.
A shot of Delicate Arch at Arches National Park in Utah, about 60 seconds before the sun fell behind the horizon. If you have never been to Delicate Arch before, don't be fooled by the seemingly short mileage of this hike--it's pretty tough! In spite of this, there were easily 50 people up at the arch for sunset. Getting a shot without people swarming all over the arch was a miracle. ;)

Even though he was a big bird, he seemed delicate to me...maybe it was the soft white coloring that made me think that. He was very pretty.
An afternoon hike to Delicate Arch to see the sunset. Towards the East there were very dark clouds gathering, and all of a sudden the rainbow appeared in the Arch. Magical!
This shot doesn't need much explanation, as its the most famous of its kind on the planet. It is much larger than I thought it would be. I got setup just in time for happy hour. No, no, no I mean the golden hour. That high desert light makes for jaw dropping sunrises and sunsets.
This is a 5 exposure (1ev @ f/13) HDR crunched with Photomatix. I also employed the use of a 2 stop, soft HiTech grad filter. And cleaned it up some in Lightroom Dos.

Arches National Park, Utah
This was taken with a Lee Big Stopper which allows me to take long exposures during the daylight. This exposure was for 101 seconds which allowed for some movement in the clouds and also for people to walk right through the picture without showing up in the image.
Arches was the first place that I actually flew to just to take pictures (back in April 2011). I had just got my nifty Panasonic bridge camera and my fancy Canon point and shoot that shot HDR(!)
For spring break this year, I decided to go back and see if I could do the place justice with all that I've learned since then.
There's something about Arches that just captivates my imagination...I think it's how positively alien it all looks...
I can't get enough of it...
Heavy rains had drenched Arches National Park and the surrounding area the day before. Taken in late November, the cold overnight temperatures created really thick fog the next morning. As I was photographing in other areas of the park, I looked toward the landscape where Delicate Arch should be. I noticed it was invisible, completely shrouded in fog. Knowing that the rising temperatures would eventually burn off the fog, I quickly rushed to the trail head and hiked up the hill; I wanted to be there before the fog lifted. Once I reached the top (and survived the nearly self-induced heart attack), I set up my shot and waited ... for about 2 hours. As soon as the fog began to burn, it went quickly. I hope I caught it at the right time.
