Moab Utah - Incredible Vistas


Thursday and Friday, March 16 and 17th

Moab Utah - one of the most beautiful and most photographed places on earth. It was quite a challenge - especially at mid day when the bright light is terrible.


What to shoot? Well, I looked for what I liked, not what I didn't like. And serendipity came into play. Look at the climber rappelling from the center of Canyon Arch. An "aha" moment to be sure. I had my d 200 ( knew I wouldn't 't need high IS O) with my Nikon 28-300 3.5-4.6. I only wanted to carry one body and one lens on the steep climb up to the arch. I set my ISO to 200 and put on VR. No mono or tripod.

I exposed in shutter priority for the mid tones in the rock for the close up at 100 mm f10 - 1000

For the distance shots - iso still 200, lens at 135,   f5.6 - 2000 shutter
