Arches National Park - Nighty Night

Arches National Park, Utah in late October, 2010.

Death Valley's Artist pallette

Death Valley is an absolutely beautiful park. It seems stuck in time. There are still minerals protruding from the mountains. There are still areas that haven't been diseased by factory's or mining pits. The remnants of the "famed" borax days are there but nature has done a good job of covering them up, leaving the memories posted only on the visitor center walls.

Double Arch with Star Trails

Double Arch is in Arches National Park, Utah near Moab. This shot was taken at midnight. This arch configuration is huge and it is a fun test to see how much sky you can get behind the scene without hanging from a bungee cord. This is one of the most popular angles. We have seen similar angles before but there is nothing like making one for yourself.

Utah's Arches NP

The U.S. portion of our trip may be over but the images are still being processed. We received a lot of RT's on our previous sunbursts and we hope that you like this one as well. Remember that the secret of sunbursts is F22. As a photographer, you must always go early and stay late. The sun rises early and so should you.

This is Utah's Arches National Park. The entire park is filled with inspiring places and views. For Christmas, get your family a National Park Pass that will make it easier for you to get up and get out.
