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.
Arches National Park in Utah / USA has the most amazing rock formations. Among them is the Double Arch. I tried to create a rather unusual view by taking a wide-angle panorama looking vertically upwards. The image consists of four individual shots that were put together in Photoshop to create a panorama with spherical projection. Since I took the individual shots freehand, they did not fit together perfectly and the panorama had to be edited manually to make the transitions appear correct.

Thank you very much for your views. faves and comments!
I'm posting 2 similar images taken about 15 min apart. Both are taken within Double Arch in Arches National Park, Utah, looking outward. One has light painting on the walls, and the other does not. The darker one has a light trail for car headlights in the background. At first I thought this ruined the image, but now I have come to like it. This one is a combination of 2 images taken back to back, one for the sky, one for the rock.
I am interested, which do you like the best?

Got back the other day from two weeks in Death Valley and the Eastern Sierras. Before and after a sold out Death Valley workshop, I squeezed in some personal photography.
Inspired by Eric Harness' image here, the last night, I re-tried a composition from my first night on the road. Better stars, less moon and this is the (rough) result). I say rough because I need to spend some more time in a few areas, but I wanted to share this before the long weekend.
For more night photography information, head on over to the gurus at Star Circle Academy and check out all the wonderful information they have!
Have a great weekend ahead everyone! And I will be sifting through the new images and posting when I can.

The lower arch of Zion's Double Arch feature at the end of Taylor Creek Trail in the Kolob Canyons section. 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.
The light is reflecting from the red sandstone on the opposite side of the valleyinto this blind arch, resulting in a mysterious light
Arches and sea stacks at Tongaporutu, New Zealand.
On my third visit to Tongaporutu I was determined to reach the end of the beach where I found this double arch and more beautiful sea stacks.

The beginning of the finale, or the Ninth Movement, is one of Mother Nature’s best creations in her Western desert repertoire. Like a classical concerto movement, the Milky Way performed her way across the horizon, and executed a perfect visual crescendo for the galaxy’s orchestra we cannot hear.

When I angled my SLR camera upward, I imagined this patterned created but he Double Arch above me, but it was only as I worked on the image later while at a Starbucks that I realized there was a distinct pattern...I just couldn't put it to a word. Then it popped into my head with the original series of Star Trek and "The Gamesters of Triskelion."
Captured is the glowing presence of newborn light as he crowns just below the desert floor. For an instant, the surface of the earth is neither completely lit nor completely dark. And in a moment, terrestrial life will fade away and the slow inevitable drift of their movements out of the past will fade into the unknown future.

The moon, a few days wane off of full, lights up the clouds as stars are framed by the geological oddity that is Double Arch. After seeing some inspiring examples of light painting, the family and I hiked out with a flashlight to explore the technique with Double Arch as the subject. My 9-year-old was particularly excited about trying his hand. There are certainly worse ways to spend an evening!
Double Arch in Arches National Park Utah. This park is wonderful to tour and take photos. On this day we started with the sunrise, hiked through out the day and then finished with the sunset at the windows and turret arch.

Double Arch in Southern Utah, was formed differently than most arches in the Arches National Park. It is what is known as a pothole arch, formed by water erosion from above rather than more typical erosion from the side. The larger opening has a span of 148 feet and a height of 104 feet. It lies atop an underground salt bed called the “Paradox Formation” which is responsible for the arches. The visible rock formation is the salmon-colored Entrada Sandstone and the tan-colored Navajo Sandstone. In this picture, color and texture of the stone was achieved by the rock momentarily illuminated by a light source and using a 39 second exposure. Visible in the background is the distant glow of light pollution from nearby Moab, Utah. The dark rock structures in the lower left are eroded monoliths deposited over 300 million years ago when seas flowed into the region and eventually evaporated. Visible in the night sky is the Milky Way Galaxy and its billions of stars and planets. While fending off mice from my trail mix, I framed the arches and the distant galaxy to create a connection between the unearthly landscape and the night sky.
Lots more to come from Arches so stay tuned!

The upper arch of Zion's Double Arch feature at the end of Taylor Creek Trail in the Kolob Canyons section. It is quite amazing that the shelf forming the top of the lower arch (bottom of picture) is large enough to house a mini forest.
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.

March 2016 Arches National Park four night Milky Way night sky workshop is now full
In early March 2016, I will lead / host a four night Milky Way night sky workshop.
During that workshop I will take my group to Arches National Park, Professor Valley, Canyonlands, Monument Valley and down to Kayenta, AZ. After shooting the Milky Way, we'll shoot sunrise and many other sites in the best morning light.
I'm already thinking about that incredible drive from Moab, UT down to Monument Valley, AZ and on down to Kayenta. As we drive beyond The Mittens area in Monument Valley, we''ll see the ancient volcano Agathla Peak, just north of Kayenta.

Time to chill out to Anhid's song ... Where Joy Shall Reign.
Thanks for stopping by.
Arches National Park, Utah, USA
It may look calm, but the thunder was rolling and the wind blowing. The dust and sand was pelting me as I captured this photo. The other visitors vanished. The storm did provide some nice clouds and, I think, a fitting backdrop for the various formations. Oh yes, there was a down pour shortly after I took this.
That is Double Arch on the right and you can see the light shining through a small opening at the top of the front arch. Most photos that I have seen focus on just Double Arch, but I think the formations on the left are equally interesting.

This amazing arch began as a drip through sandstone above, eventually hollowing out this incredible set of arches.
There were people, of course, scrambling on the rocks. I moved myself so that foreground rocks hid them!
(Name corrected to "Double Arch")
Famous location in Utah arches National Park.This park is the hottest park of American Southwest.In october the car marked 41 C. degrees.Fortunately the weather is dry.
Double Arch after the sunset at Arches National Park – Utah .
Something that is almost impossible to describe ( yep pictures help :-) . Most of the time there is a lot of people all over the place but when is late , windy , cold … we had entire place to ourselves and fun it was. Due to really wide angle ( Sigma 12-24 ) set to max on full-frame , you really can't see how steep was the wall of the arch . I was going higher and higher to catch the view … when I was descending it was quite dark and I was getting quite religions .
Earlier with all the wind , I left the camera on the tripod and run to something from the pack - entire thing fell . Thanks to Canon and Sigma , they are well build although lens may have a problem .
BTW my front page just crossed 250,000 views - Thank you so much !!!
The total views should cross 2Mil within a month :-)

Double Arch is a close-set pair of natural arches in Arches National Park, Utah. The area was used as a backdrop for the opening scene of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in which the arches are briefly visible.
Double Arch was formed differently than most of the arches in Arches National Park. It is what is known as a pothole arch; it formed by water erosion from above rather than more typical erosion from the side. The larger opening has a span of 148 feet (45,1 meters) and a height of 104 feet (31,7 meters).

Arches National Park contains the world's largest concentration of natural sandstone arches. There are over 2,000 arches and an astounding variety of other geological formations located within the park.

Taken back in 2008 during our visit to Arches National park in Utah, if you take a look at the size of the people in this picture, you can see how massive this arch actually is! (08-09-23-1397) .

Moab, UT - Something tells me that this is probably one of the most photographed locations in Utah. I'm not sure who that man was standing in the opening with the sky behind him however I'd like to thank his timing. With him standing there it really exemplifies how large this rock structure is.
It seems surreal here, like an alien planet. I've visited this area a few times and it's still captivating.
