Gateway Arch image taken the day before St. Louis had about 5 consecutive days of rain and significant flooding in late December 2015. I was fortunate to get this shot because this was the last hour of sunlight on my visit to St. Louis (the rest of the days it rained).

Corona Arch near Moab is on BLM land rather than in a National Park. It is 110 feet high and 140 feet wide. It used to be a popular arch for small planes to fly through and rock climbers to swing from. Those activities are illegal now. It is an amazing arch to see. There are two people below the arch. The man is standing and the woman seated.

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.

Saturday Self Challenge: Arch

This one was a challenge, and had me searching for arches on every walk and drive we undertook. Being away from towns, there were no man-made arches to photograph, so I finally settled on shapes from the grasses growing at a creek edge.

 

I hope the above photograph is not pushing the theme just too far. By using my imagination a little, and together with their shadows, I found at least 10 arch shapes in the above photograph.
