Egg Shell Arch, AZ

[Douglas Sherman]

This beautiful arch is on the Navajo Indian Reservation. It glows like this during the the time around Thanksgiving and thus is also called Thanksgiving Arch.

I can see the attraction of the glow - beautiful subject with this light.

Velvia?

So you like shooting the rock formations out west better than Lake Superior? Simply fantastic

 

[Ben Egbert]

Beautiful Douglas, I wonder how many arches glow like this?

Thanks, Alan. This was with a Canon 5D.

Not necessarily, Tim. Each arch has its own aura.

Beautiful Douglas, I wonder how many arches glow like this?

Thanks, Ben. I can think of one: Mesa Arch.

This is a very cool Arch Doug! It's one I haven't shot yet. I sure like the glow of it. Do you remember if it was morning or evening sun that lit it up?

This was late afternoon, Jim.

Nicely done, Doug. This is an eye-candy, the contrast of golden glow and blue sky is beautiful

Nice Doug! The glow under the arch is spectacular, and irresistibly reminds me of Mesa Arch while being an original take. There are a couple of stray dust spots just to remind how much of a dust magnet the 5D is (upper left, upper right, and lower right in the cloud). Seems harsh to call it Thanksgiving Arch considering Native American views on the holiday.

Thanks for your constructive comments, Tim. You are right on about the 5D dust spots. I have cloned them out. That is one of the reasons I switched to the Nikon D800. The other irksome thing about that camera was the focusing.
