As I’ve said many times, early morning landscape photography is the best for a number of reason, but especially for being alone on location. Most casual tourists and visitors to a popular location, seldom get out and about in the early morning hours, so we seldom have to worry about people popping into our shots.
The first images here are long exposure, pre-sunrise photos. There is just a little pink color beginning to show on the distant horizon.
Shooting from the rounded rocks in front of the arch, made using a tripod very difficult for getting down low, so I ended up shooting hand held, using a higher ISO to get my shutter speed high enough to counter my hand shake.
I shot many images at this location today and could include more, but these are representative of the morning’s scene. Having those magnificent, early morning clouds was a bonus for shooting today.
Until next time,
Ken
Awesome shots Ken … some of your best work yet IMHO! I love the long exposure clouds which you were lucky to have on this morning.
Thanks, Denise. Getting good photos is much easier, when the scenery is fantastic, with good light conditions and an interesting sky. Unfortunately, not every day here was this good.
