Description
Like many photographers, I have been to the Moab a number of times. I have only had the patience to actually photograph Mesa Arch once though, on a winter day at the end of 2016. I have lots of patience when it comes to light, very little when it comes to obnoxious photographers at dawn!
The Arch is an international icon and one of the most photographed locations in the world. As such, it's hard to get a good shot, especially with the crowds jockeying for tripod position.
On this winter day, I went to the Arch 2 hours before sunrise, bundled up in winter down and with a big thermos of coffee. I arrived first and had a wonderful 45-minutes alone in silence before the next photographers arrived.
I did not go for the sunburst that most people try, but positioned my camera to the right to get the La Sal mountains and cliff faces in the image for the pre-sunrise dawn light.

Thanks very much Leslie - being out there was awesome on that morning. I would also love to do an all night session at Delicate Arch sometime, be ready to shoot at very first dawn light. Maybe once travelling gets a little easier later this year...

This is a Fantastic shot, Murray!!! . As an avid hiker and traveler I have come to believe/accept I simply need to experience and savor the journey in my memory, and appreciate my ability to actually be out there. I always try to capture some photographs but I want to remain inspired, not disappointed or impatient

Thank you Janie - it really does, doesn't it? Canyonlands is one of my favorite destinations - hopefully I will get a chance to get back next year
