This is from 3 weeks ago or so. Arches was first on my list to capture the Milky Way as I was driving back from my daughters in Colorado to California. I set up 2 of my cameras to get some rock spires in the image, I already posted one of those. But this one was my insurance shot as I had been...

From 2 weeks ago, I composed this one with the South Window and Turret Arch in The Windows area of Arches National Park. The timelapse from this is coming later tonight. All comments are welcome, Jim Taken with typical Milky Way night settings. ISO3200 25 secs f2.0 Single Image Nikon D810...

With Turret Arch on one side at Arches National Park, I was aiming to get the early spring Milky Way which rises very late in the morning. It first starts peeping up about 3am when I shot this 2 weeks ago. This is a single image using the old technique of Double Processing the Raw Image. Once...

From Arches National Park a few weeks ago at the Windows Viewpoint Area. Nikon D7100 - 590nm conversion Custom WB and Channel Swapped All comments are welcome, Jim

This is from last week, out in Arches National Park. I made my way up to Delicate Arch as I wanted to video the hike for a tour guide. There wasn't much in the way of clouds, but no matter it's always a fun experience up there. There was maybe 20 to 30 people up there, and surprisingly not many...

Well, a Milky Way at Balanced Rock anyway. :) This is from last week at Balanced Rock in Arches National Park. It was a new moon so there was no moon to do any light painting. Of course there was always the other helpful photographers who came about 4am in the morning with no cares at all. I...

Double Arch! While Arches National Park has lots and lots of Arches, for me Double Arch stands out as one of the more unique ones. This is from yesterday morning. All comments are welcome, Jim

I think Balanced Rock does a better job of balancing then I do with Infrared. :) I captured this last April, it's one I just processed as I go through last years archived and skipped over photos. All comments are welcome, Jim Nikon D7100 converted to 590nm IR Custom Profile, WB and no...

A Holga Lens image taken on my broken Nikon D810. From a few weeks ago in Arches National Park. This is the path going up the back way to Turret Arch. For those who are new, the Holga lens is a classic "bad" lens. Taken from the Holga film camera made in Hong Kong about 50 years ago, it was...

This is in Arches National Park from a few weeks ago. There is just something about paths and stairs that speak to me. So this one is in the middle of the area walking from the Windows to Double Arch. @Dorota Szymonowicz inspired me to try another attempt at Aerochrome style IR. It's a bit of...

I am in Arches NP as I work my way from Colorado to California. Last night I shot the stars at Balanced Rock, though I think I captured more clouds and lights from headlights then I did stars. This morning I started working the Balanced Rock area. It’s not that I don’t like the classic views (I...

A week ago I ran over to Arches National Park for the night as I have mentioned already. My hope was that I could get Comet Neowise passing through an arch. It sounded like an easy task since there seems like there are so many Arches in Arches NP that it should certainly be easy! Well, after I...

Well, many of you have read of my adventures in Arches National Park a couple of days ago as I was scouting for locations to shoot the Neowise Comet. This was after the rain that occurred about 2 hours before sunset. Once in stopped, it was awesome rainbows, some of the best rainbows I have...

I decided to chase Comet Neowise over to Arches NP in hopes of getting it with a something different. I got to Arches about 3pm and spent about 3 hours driving and hiking around with my compass in my lap looking for objects that would line up with the comet, and ultimately I wanted to see if I...

In Arches National Park located just outside Moab Utah, there are towers upon towers of rock to find there. This is one such area. If I recall I think it is in the Garden of Eden area but I could be wrong. This was taken this last summer and I really liked the wind swept clouds. All comments...

This is from Arches National Park in Utah and a side view of Turret Arch and the surrounding rocks. This was late afternoon. This was shot on the Sony A6400 and processed on the iPhone. I may have to go back and take a closer look at it on my computer. All comments are welcome, Jim Original...

This was from Arches as the sun had set and there was some cool color in the sky. I spotted this person who had climbed up to the top of that little spire just to the side of Turret Arch. She was so focused on taking a multitude of selfies unaware of all of real faces that she should have been...

From a few days ago in Arches National Park in Utah. This is Wall Street. It's a bit tougher of a shot for me since I had to shoot it with my 16-35mm f4 lens instead of my normal 14mm f1.8. I also had to deal with a drunk guy who started to wander around with a flashlight shining it around and...
