This image was taken on the first day of a 2017 trip to Arches and Canyonlands national parks in Utah. It had rained the night before, and the sky was still quite cloudy when my group arrived at our first location. But the sun soon began to peek through the clouds, lighting up the red rocks with its soft, early-morning light.
Early morning in Arches National Park in Utah. The three tall rock formations at the left in the photo are known as the "Three Gossips" as they appear from some angles to be gossiping to each other.
I haven't haad any luck photographing the moon at night, so I decided to try my luck with photography this almost full moon as it was setting over Arches National Park in Utah. Using my long (400mm) lens, I was able to get a pretty good image and some detail of the lunar surface.
Unfortunately, it was too high in the sky to be able to capture the moon over some of the red rock formations.
I recently spent a few days in Utah visiting Arches and Canyonlands national parks, both of which are home to some amazing rock formations. This photo was taken on the first day of the trip, in Arches National Park, on a cool, cloudy and rainy morning. The rocks, gravel, dead tree and path lead the eye to the big formation in the middle of the image.
The rising moon silhouettes a woman sitting on the edge of Utah's Bryce Canyon National Park.
