    How to Light an Arch | Arches National Park Night Photography

     

    Arches are cool.  Millions of years of wind erosion, soft rock, and what seems like a good bit of luck combine to create these famous geological landmarks that are literally one of a kind.  Some of the most famous sandstone arches in the world are contained within Arches National Park, and I recently got the chance to travel out west to explore that area with two of my good friends, Mike and David (see this post for background).

    For a post about Arches NP, I thought I’d change it up with a step-by-step look at how some of the night photos (or wide-field astrophotography) happened.

    At times this post will devolve into photo-nerd-speak, so if your eyes glaze over when that happens,  try less reading and more looking at pictures 🙂
