Glowscape. One of the most popular scenes near Moab
One of the most popular scenes near Moab, Utah is sunrise at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park. I arrived at Mesa Arch at 5:30am. I wanted to be the first photographer at the arch so that I could stake out my spot. To my delight I was the first to arrive... for a couple minutes at least. 5 minutes later my solitude was broken as groups of photographers joined us.For a saturday morning I was extremely lucky - only about 15 photographers showed up. No pushing or shoving, knocking tripods, or being rude. Everyone politely came over, found a spot, setup their tripods and waited. As the sun began to rise over the La Sal Mountains in the background, the rays of light hit the underside of Mesa Arch and caused it to glow!I chose this composition because I wanted to include as much of the plateau below the arch as I could. There are beautiful mesas, buttes, spires, canyons, and rivers here and I wanted to try to include them all! I also knew that I wanted to include some sky and as much of the arch as I could; at times I wished I could have even been more wide angle than I already was. I took a number of photos as the sun rose and I wanted to include the largest sunstar that I could; I chose this photo because it has the suns rays on both the mountains and the arch
