Sunset in Arches

November 21st, 2008

The December issue of “Outdoor photographer” arrived yesterday, and made me realize, that even if Arches are the most photographed place in US, it doesn’t mean that I will be banal by putting some of my photos from there on my blog. By far these are the photos I will go back to most often. I knew I will enjoy the place when I went there, and I indeed did.

There is a funny story behind this photo. On the first day, on our way back from the Window Section, late in the afternoon, we saw a bunch of photographers in one spot. I think it was Parade of Elephants, but almost a year later, I just cannot remember, If anybody recognizes the place, leave a comment. They had their cameras, tripods, lotsa stuff. Looked serious. The sun was down already, it was getting dark- no point to stop and try to figure out the place.  We returned next day, about an hour before the sunset. We were neither first, not last :). I set up to photograph this one view, and I have a history of light changing during the sunset. But I like this one the most.
