p.1 #1 · Black Day at Arches National Park

Well, Sort of.

The standard Arches shot as I was learning a new camera. But the sun came out for about 2 minutes right at sunset, shining brightly on Balanced Rock against a black, overcast sky. Then it was gone.

Thanks for looking!

Oooohh! Very cool capture, Craig! Lovely warm lighting on the pillars, and the dark and angry looking sky really sets them off!!
Nicely done!

I agree, this is wonderful lighting and the background really makes this image pop.

Well done

Nice shot ! The lighting here is really sweet. BTW, not a fan of the thin white line - especially since it is uneven (R is wider than L) - try black next time w/ same width all around

A great shot. Congratulation.
This is a perfect example of how light can totally transform a landscape which by itself would have been nice but not extraordinary.
I am just wondering if the composition would have been a bit better by including more of the rocks at the bottom.

In any case, a portfolio grade image.

Thanks for the kind responses!

I got off only two fast shots and then it went back to mediocre light.

The underexposure and lighting couldn't be any more perfect to emphasize those forms.

Nice!

I know the light was intense at that moment, but it still seems too saturated in the reds.
