Balanced Rock vu depuis Double Arch.
Dans Arches National Park en Utah.
La plus petite arche est toujours énorme à 86 pieds de haut et 67 pieds de large. ( 26,21 x 20,42 mètres )
D'après diapositive.
This is Double Arch in Arches National Park, Utah. Do remember the picture game "Where's Waldo"? You had to find Waldo in a crowded photo. Anyway, in this photo it's "Where's Eric" (sorry Eric, you volunteered!). There is a figure in the photo with a headlamp, posed to give some scale to the photo. The arch is huge. Since Eric is in front of the arch and closer to the camera, he is actually magnified a bit, and the arch minimized a bit. Nikon 810A Camera, Nikon 14-24 mm lens, 20 mm, f 2.8, 30 sec., ISO 8000.
I just discovered it's Where's Wally in most of the world, and Where's Waldo in the USA and Canada. Thanks Oscar for the info!
The figure in the photo is Eric Gail you can see his excellent gallery here:

Eric kindly volunteered to pose in the photo. Thanks Eric. BTW, I need another Model Release! LOL
Thanks for taking the time to look. Hope you enjoy! Big thanks to the wonderful Flickr family out there.

Panorama Of Double Arch in Arches National Park, Utah. This is a re-edit of a image I was not satisfied with from last summer. This is a combination of 20 vertical images stitched together in photoshop, taken with a 15 mm Sigma fisheye lens. The idea was to capture both arches as well as the Milky Way seen through the "roof". I have removed some of the distortion in photoshop. Canon 6D, Sigma 15 mm fisheye lens at f/2.8, 30 sec exposures, ISO 6400. The light pollution in the distance is from the town of Moab, Utah. The distortion is from trying to make the inside of a spherical object fit into a rectangle. Pretend that the image is folded around your sides and head!
Thanks for looking! Hope you enjoy!

This is a view from "Double Arch" in Arches National Park, Utah, USA, taken last summer. I am using the winter to go back through files and re-examine some of them. This was taken with a Sigma 15mm fisheye lens at f 2.8, ISO 6400. and 30 sec. exposure. Hope you enjoy!

Zion's Double Arch feature at the end of Taylor Creek Trail in the Kolob Canyons section. This shot includes both the upper and lower arches.
On the approach to this double arch, the intense saturated colors on the shaded red walls of the sheer cliffs was absolutely stunning.
We must have been there at just the right time of day when the reflected light from the red rocks on the other side of the canyon intensified the colors. By the time we were heading back, this effect was already beginning to fade.
Taken in Aches National Park in Utah in August 2009. I had a very new Canon Rebel my first really good digital camera. Had just started taking RAW images and had not yet used Lightroom. I tried to pull the center out of the shadows but in the process messed up the colors. The second arch is hidden from this angle.
Visible from the parking loop at The Windows, Double Arch is an impressive feature—the tallest (112 ft/34 m) and second-longest (144 ft/44 m) arch in the park. A gently sloping path leads to its base.
If you look carefully there are three people below the arch.

An image captured where I decided to focus as much as I could on the arches with its shapes, curves and patterns. The blues of the skies above would then come through as kind of a backdrop to complement the reds and browns of the surrounding sandstone. While bright from the daylight, I was able to bring out a more balanced image working with color control points and then using Low Key and Polarization CEP filters in Capture NX2.

The Alabama Hills outside of Lone Pine, California are a unique landscape filled with granite rock formations and natural stone arches. On a moonless night, the stars were plentiful, and I framed the north star, Polaris in one of the arch's openings. Close to two and a half hours of star trails comprised this landscape photo.
On my way to Death Valley to teach a workshop with fellow photog, Josh Cripps, I made a pit stop in the Alabama Hills to try my hand again at some star trails.

I am still recovering after one of the most crazy and unpredictable photography trips that I have been on thus far. Eric Gail, David Columbo and I had been planning on a blitz style, four day trip out to Utah and Arizona for a couple of months, and the original plan was to drive out to Escalante and then hike down into Coyote Gulch to catch some fall color around the waterfalls and some shots of the Jacob Hamblin Arch. Having rented a 4x4 SUV specifically for this purpose, we would then make a beeline South and make the perilous drive out to the Toroweap Overlook on the rim of the Grand Canyon to catch a sunrise on Oct 30.
Well...David got sick and had to bail, our 4x4 SUV turned out to be a weenie Ford Exploder with a total front end clearance of 4 inches, and Eric's foot fell off. Or at least he WANTED it to fall off as he had some sort of horrible bone spur and could barely put any weight on it. On top of that, the clouds moved in when we arrived and we were looking at a possibility of thunderstorms on the following Friday which meant no trip to the gulch unless we wanted to deal with flash floods. And Toroweap was out due to our weenie SUV.
Fast forward two days later after we bailed on Coyote Gulch, shot Capitol Reef, got lost on the way to Canyonlands, went to Monument Valley instead, and finally raced back up to Arches where we spent our last sunset and sunrise shooting like mad before heading home.
This particular shot is from a last ditch effort to grab some night shots despite the clouds that had moved in blocking our view of the stars. I had just given up hope when I glanced up and saw that some weak starlight was beginning to make it's way through. Eric and our new friend Scott Wakefield charged up the trail only to find that the whole area had been taken over by someone working on a time lapse. After some key negotiating skills by Eric, the other photographer agreed to let us place some low level LED panels in the foreground and the result is what you see above. Eric has been experimenting quite a bit lately with a technique used by Royce Bair which involves the use of low light sources rather than the typical light painting with a flashlight that many photographers use.. The above shot was lit by three LED panels. If you were standing in front shooting, you would barely notice the dim glow on the arches, but after a 20-30 second exposure, the arches show up nicely against the stars in the background.
I took this shot with the Rokinon 12mm 2.8 fisheye after Scott and I crawled up into the cavern about 20-30 feet from where the rest of the ever growing group of photographers was stationed back at the bottom. Settings were ISO 2500, for 20 seconds at 2.8.
Even though our final itinerary looked very different from what it was when we set off at 12:30 AM on October 27, I had an amazing time visiting several locations for the first time. It might take a full twelve hours of driving to get back there again, but I can’t wait for the next trip.

It was amazing to view the Milky Way through #DoubleArche in Arches National Park…This #MZuiko 8mm #FishEye is a perfect fit for this kind of shot. Field of view is so wide that you can even see the 3rd opening which was almost behind us. With the F 1.8 is really great to capture night scene such Milky Way.

I photographed Double Arch at the Windows area of Arches National Park. In addition to Double Arch, the Windows area of the park also contains North and South Windows (collectively called "The Spectacles" because of their proximity to each other), and Turret Arch. These, located in a relatively small area within easy walking distance of each other, constitute the greatest concentration of arches / windows in the world. They are also readily accessible not having any guardrails or fences to prevent visitors from exploring directly beneath and through the arches / windows.
Double Arch was formed differently from most of the arches in the park. It is what is known as a pothole arch, formed by water erosion (freezing and thawing) from above rather than more typical erosion from the side. The larger of the Double Arch openings has a span of 148 feet (45 m) and a height of 104 feet (32 m). These dimensions give the arch the tallest opening and second-longest span in the park. A look at the visitors under the arches should place the spans and heights in a more relatable scale. The area was used as a backdrop for the opening scenes of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", in which the arches are briefly visible. However, the cave shown in the movie does not exist, at least not in the park.

We hiked to this arch in the dark and climbed right up and inside it. It wasn't until someone used some light that I realized the scale of it - it's over 100 feet tall! It was an incredible feeling to lie back against the stone (still slightly warm from the sun) and watch, in silence, the amazing night sky and the Milky Way through above those massive stones.
The light painting on the arch was done by the wonderfully expert David Kingham. I have new-found respect for light painting done well!
In June 2014 I went to Utah for a week specifically to take pictures of the night sky. If you want to see more of those pictures (and my other efforts at night photography) feel free to look at my Night Sky album.

This is the fourth of four previously posted shots, which are scans of slides from the early 1980s, that I enhanced using Photoshop Elements.
This was taken on a memorable Smithsonian institution trip to Arches and Canyonlands national parks.
It still didn’t come out as gorgeous as George’s shot.
Better large.
From my trip in June, 1982. Look very closely and you can see two people in this photo. One is near the bottom, coming out of the shadow. The other is seated under the back arch against the blue sky background.
Double Arch es una increÃble formación de arcos dentro del área de Windows del Parque Nacional Arches, un área con la mayor concentración de arcos naturales en todo el mundo. Double Arch toma su nombre debido a que consta de dos arcos que comparten la misma piedra como base para sus dos patas exteriores. Double Arch se formó por la erosión hÃdrica hacia abajo desde lo alto de la arenisca, en lugar de la erosión por agua de lado a lado.
Milky Way stars shining through a light painted Double Arch, Arches National Park. This completes a 3-decade quest to better photograph the inside of this arch. Compare with my first attempt in 1983, taken during the end of the blue hour. How many lights do you think were used in this photo, compared to the 1983 version?

taking photos.....shows the size of the arches....wish I had taken more photos farther away from the arches.....
Combination capture here of Double Arch in Arches National Park. The sky was captured at ISO 6400 for 30 seconds, and then I reset the ISO to 200 and captured the arch for 30S. At ISO 100, there was little detail with the very dark histogram, so reset and captured at ISO 200. Combined the two exposures in Photoshop.
I could probably bring up the shadows more in the arch exposure, but this is pretty close to the details that I remember seeing out there in the DARK.
Quite the fun experience being there under the arches.
This is a set of 8 vertical images merged in photoshop, from the outside of Double Arch in arches National Park, Utah, USA. I overlooked this set of images last summer, and rediscovered it going through old files. I thought it might not be very interesting, but ended up liking the result. I tried cropping the image in several ways, but finally decided it was better to leave it uncropped to get some perspective on Double Arch in it's natural setting. Hope you like it!

This is Double Arch, the tallest and second longest arch in the park
A portion on a poem I came across from W. B. Yeats which seemed to best capture an idea of that passage of poetry with the rock formations of the Parade of Elephants. One can see a little bit of the Double Arch and Elephant Butte. To compose this image, I decided to angle my SLR camera slightly downward to capture a few looking across the red sands and vegetation of this part of the Windows Section. The eye would then be led to the rock columns and arches with its patterns and shapes of carved sandstone. I later did some cropping with some of the near landscape and blue skies above for a more panoramic feel.
The Windows - North and South Window Arch.
Il Double Arch (Gli Occhiali) ha una forma diversa dalla maggior parte degli archi del parco.
È quello che viene definito un arco a buca, formato dall'erosione dell'acqua dall'alto anziché dalla più tipica erosione laterale.
L'apertura più grande ha una campata di 45 m e un'altezza di 32 m.
Queste dimensioni rendono l'arco l'apertura più alta e la seconda campata più lunga del parco.

Seen here is Double Arch, in Arches National Park near Moab, UT, with the Milky Way behind the arches. A friend and I "light painted" the arches to get the desired effect of having them illuminated while still capturing the milky way galaxy.

Galileo’s Muse offers a surprising view, and captures the imagination of anyone who dreams of unlocking the secrets of nature. A breakthrough idea can come from where we least expect it, demonstrating one of the most powerful techniques of a creative mind. Using his internal rhythms of imagination, he found insight within humanistic roots of modern science, even when confronted by his own limitations.

This unusual perspective of Double Arch was taken looking up from under Double Arch with a fisheye lens.
Double Arch is located in the Windows section of Arches National Park, Utah.
The double arches form the three windows in this photograph. The path under the arches leads in through the lower window. The top two windows are the potholes created when the arches formed by erosion from above, rather than below.
The monolith at the bottom is adjacent to the Parade of Elephants. North and South Window Arches are also visible alo the southwest edge of the border as is Turret Arch.
This is a circular crop of an 8 mm Rokinon fisheye on a full frame camera.

During the fall season of 2016, I flew to Colorado where I photographed the incredible colorful Aspen trees with snow capped mountains.
After shooting the colors in CO for 6 days, I drove drove down to Moab, Utah for the 2nd time this year. However, this visit I was able to photograph the Milky Way almost vertical to the foreground as it was seen in the southwestern night sky.
Here's one of my many Milky Way night sky photos with Balanced Rock I took around October 4.
For those attending my two ANP MW workshops in 2017, one over the 3rd week in March and the second over the 3rd week in April, I will be bringing everyone here for their own take of Balanced Rock with the Milky Way but in the eastern sky.
For all Milky Way night sky photography work, I will be bringing specialized lights to either accent light or light paint the arches and monuments you will photograph.

My Milky Way night sky photography workshops
In 2017, I will be leading two 4 day photography workshops in Jackson Hole. During both workshops, I will take my group out for 3 nights of my Milky Way night sky workshop.
Here is a list of the photography workshops I will conduct in 2017:
1. Arches National Park - March 25-29
2. Icons of the Southwest with Ryan Smith - April 23-27
3. Grand Teton National Park Spring Wildflowers - June 23-25
4. Grand Teton National Park Fall Colors - Sept. 20-24
5. Washington, DC Monument & Memorial Nightscapes - late Oct. tentative
6. Eastern Sierras - August 17-20 (tentative)
All workshops include three 4+ hour Photoshop & Lightroom Milky Way post processing sessions.
The great part is that in 2017 I will return to Jackson Hole for the incredible wildflowers throughout the valley and the surrounding mountains.

Time to chill out to Project Blue Sun's song ... Sun-Naked.
Thanks for stopping by.
Double Arch, one of the more known features of Arches National Park in Utah is a pair of natural arches. Arches National Park near Moab Utah is an area of massive balanced rocks, soaring pinnacles and spires and is the world's largest concentration of natural sandstone arches. Print Size 13x19 inches.
An adding of some words to a poem I came across recently from the collection of W.B. Yeats. For me that poem was a way with words to describe an amazing creation and structure with the Double Arch and angles of carvings in the rock surface. So composing this image was a matter of finding that angle looking to the sets of arches to fill up most of the captured image while adding some balance with colors in the blue skies beyond. In some ways, this image was a composition of shapes and a contrast of hues and colors.
These images are from a recent trip to the American Southwest, with destinations of Arches National Park (Utah) and Monument Valley (Arizona). With me on the trip was Charlie Chapman 75 . We camped at both locations to have a better opportunity to photograph early and late in the day.

The Double arch in Arches National Park in Canyonlands is tall. So tall that to enclose it completely I needed the help of my fisheye lens. The effect of the curved land, surrounding the arches are giving to me the sensation of being very small. Add to the scene the two human figures, who weren't posing, or at least not for me, and the picture is complete. A giant red rock sculpture, carved in ages, against a deep blue Utah sky.
