Here's a composite of the Northern Window and the Milky Way.

 

During my March 4-11, 2014 photo shoot in Moab, Utah (USA) and other nearby national and state parks, I wanted to expand my Milky Way night sky photography to include this part of the southwest. So on different nights, I photographed the Milky Way over numerous arches and monuments and because I did, the night sky went into the morning blue hour to sunrise with the result that I did not get a lot of sleep during the entire trip because even during the day I was constantly on the move.

 

A couple had arrived at "The Windows" in Arches National Park shortly after I did for night sky work, so we turned into a small team and went to different sites for Milky Way shots.

 

In this scene, I let them walk up to the northern window of "The Windows" and I signaled them to hold in place for my shot as they looked at the Milky Way rising in the eastern sky. This is one example of where you do not want to light paint an arch or monument ... it would have had a totally different and probably not as interesting effect if I had.

 

In 2015, I will be conducting multiple night sky / Milky Way workshops in Arches National Park in Moab, Utah. Should you be there at the end of March, please consider joining me for one or more nights as we photograph numerous sites throughout the park and other places.

 

Do you shoot the Milky Way but need a little help in getting the Milky Way to jump out of your photos ? If so, take a look at my ebook A Photographer's Milky Way Processing Guide - A Photoshop HowTo
