Arches Nat'l Park & Canyonlands, March 2013
Arches National Park has some unique and monstrous rock formations. See the people in photos 3,7, 41, 53, 77 and 90 to get a sense of the scale. Also included are a few photos from nearby Canyonlands National Park. The night photos using "light painting" and longer time exposures have the settings in the descriptions. I visited only a few of the 2000 arches in Arches N.P., focusing on the ones that photographed the best in the existing conditions. Special thanks to Scott Meyer and Dave Billingsley for taking time to show me how to maximize my trip to these two special parks through info, maps, equipment loans and other tips. Once again I recommend using slideshow to see these properly. Thanks for viewing!

March 19th, 2013 at 8:12 PM. Delicate Arch captured at fading twilight with light paint using a single hand held spotlight from across the bowl. Residual light put the soft glow on the foreground. Settings were ISO 400, 20 seconds at f5.6. I cleared this first with the nearby photographers who were doing time exposures. Distance from the camera to the arch was 250 feet.
