The is certainly the feeling I had hiking the Toadstool Hoodoos in Kanab Utah. This other worldly area with those big rocks balanced on top of the hoodoos. Mother Nature does some amazing things!

*Double Arch lit up under the night sky - Arches ntl park, Utah.*

Weather finally cleared up after a week of cloudy nights, and I was itching to get some night photography done. As soon as I saw the clear skies above I headed out to the park. Brought a couple lights to light up the arch and started shooting.

Another photographer ended up seeing my lights and came over to see what was up and ended up shooting with me for a couple hours. Made it more enjoyable having someone to talk to and bounce ideas off.

"The Long Valley"

Zion Ntl Park, Utah.

I had just finished climbing angels landing and was hiking back down. These two girls at a lookout stopped me asking to take a photo of them together, which I was glad to do. We talked for a bit before heading our ways, by that time, that the sun was setting and the last little bit of light was catching the peaks of the mountain range, into the distance.

The landscape of the Double Arch, Arches National Park, near Moab, Utah, USA.

 

Le paysage de l'arche double dans le parc national de Arches, près de Moab, Utah, USA.

Canyonlands national park, Utah. Everyone was headed to the main sunset lookout spot, and I wanted something different so iI scouted around for a bit and found this area, where no one was. People would pull up, get out and snap a pic, before continuing to the area where everyone else was crowding. Having the place to my self allowed me to explore around and try different angle without worry.

"L'arche de la dune de sable" au parc national Arches, près de Moab, Utah, USA.

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.

Sitting halfway up a set of switchbacks on the hike to angels landing. Zion ntl Park, Utah. Upon carrying 30lbs of gear and starting to feel the burn from the steep switchbacks, I turned back to see where I came from to give me motivation to continue the climbing...and take a photo

Sans flash j'ai pris cette photographie du même sujet environ deux minutes plus tard.
