A Study of Arches

Different arches in different poses and different lighting... there's only so many ways you can photograph something large and, in the scheme of the human lifetime, largely stationary. Though, someone back in the 90s DID get a sweet photo of a chunk of Landscape Arch (the largest arch, span-wise, in the world) falling, as some of you may remember. People have turned to PhotoShop to try to invent new ways of seeing Delicate Arch, but HDR is totally cheating.

Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, with a person in it on the far left... jerks wouldn't get out of my picture!

Landscape Arch, and the empty, broken place where that chunk was before the 1990s, Arches National Park


Landscape Arch, black and white; you used to be able to walk underneath it until that chunk fell off. Jonmikel has some photo slides that prove it!
