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.

Double Arch at Midnight

This shot took several different tries. Barry had to play with the angles and flashes. The total exposure is approximately 45 minutes. Arches National Park is one of the best places to get night skies because of the limited light pollution.

Night time at Double Arch

Red River Gorge area in North Eastern Kentucky is mostly sandstone cliffs with the Red River snaking along the bottom. There are massive arches that you walk across. Natural Bridge is big enough to drive over but they have marked it as pedestrian traffic only. During the spring & summer months you can see the stars as well as campfires at night.
