Canyonlands National Park – Islands in the Sky
Mesa Arch & the Milky Way
Here is the heavily photographed Mesa Arch shot with light painting. I met up with a fun couple to go here at night and there was only one other photographer out. The sunrise here is absolute chaos with about 40+ people lined up to take basically the same shot.
I tried a vertical composition here to get the milky way and the arch in a more pleasing composition. What you can’t see here at night is that this amazing arch sits on the edge of a cliff with a several hundred feet drop into a canyon below.
Seeing these places at night is like going to a whole new site. It’s a great place to make something new and refreshing.
Thanks for viewing!
