Part Eight
Today’s trip was to Arches National Park at “The Fins,” where the rock formations are flat triangles, hence the name “Fins.” It’s a short drive from Moab, but the clouds overtook the sky, so no night photography and the sunset was a bit drab in color. Sometimes, the weather works against you, I tried to focus on a small group of rocks to compensate for the dull sky.
I also went low and shot looking up; then I added the black-and-white filter to improve the sky. I don’t know what lived in the hole in the ground, but it never came out. I also continued my love affairs with dead trees, there’s something about them.
A Common Raven, I do like them as well.
There was a sliver of sunset between the horizon and the dark clouds, I had to crop the image to get rid of the uninteresting ground and sky. The rock below was lit up with someone’s headlights; they turned on to help us to the parking lot but it did give a nice photo. I also added one of my night sky photos to a fins photo above.
