Mesa Arch - Different POV

[lightsgood]

Good morning! Happy Friday. Yet another Mesa Arch image. I always try to shoot it from a new angle just for fun. Have a good one out there.

Good idea here, I like both of these, and have a couple of my own.

Here is one from the road below, and another at very early morning.

Interesting second image, Ben. The difference in the sky above and below the arch is stark. Is this a blend?

 

[Ben Egbert]

Not a blend, but taken during a full moon where the moon was lighting the arcrh. The brighter sky under the arch was the approaching dawn.

Really like this. Never shot this angle, though I have shot a number of different ones.​

LIke the first one - I have never shot that angle although I have shot other ones.

Sorry to hijack the thread. This is a heavy crop taken with a 400mm lens.

That difference in lighting on the very early morning shot is really interesting!

Hey Ben, I have had the same exact thing happen on my night shots from Mesa Arch. The arch is much wider then we think sometimes and it hides the gradiation that is naturally there from the horizon so then it makes the separated sky brightness so obvious. I have actually gone on mine when that happens and just darken the lower sky even though it was naturally lighter, because the difference would just catch my own eye too much.

Very cool Ryan! I like this different angle. It's looking like a bunch of us have tried to come up with different takes on Mesa Arch. I have some too, though I don't think I have ever processed them.

Very cool idea, Ryan, and nicely seen comp it is!
Monica, very creative angle. Nicely seen!
Digging your first Ben, from down below. Really gives a new perspective on the arch!

No need to be sorry Ben! That's is what it's there for. Cool images!

No time like the present Jim! It would be cool to see them.
