Sunrise Arch After sunset 01
Sunrise Arch is an underrated, and probably under-visited arch. It sits on it's own in the middle of nowhere Grand Staircase Escalante. I expected to have the place to myself, as I had to drive down the horribly washboarded Hole-In-the-Rock road about 40 miles, just to start my mile and a half hike down into the desert plain.
I arrived just in time to setup and start to immediately have some really great light. As I approach 2 photographers were already setup and shooting., Ended up both guys were cool and we had a nice chat as we shot. We were presented with a great sunset with clouds lighting up great for us. I took this, with the recommendation of one of the photographers I was with, after sunset, using my circular polarizer. They took off but I stuck around for a few more shots. This one is from those last few shots I took.
Final photo is a stack of 5 exposures, blended with LR hdr processing. My first time using that process, and I must say I like the results. I'll be comparing it with Photomatix with same shots soon.
