Description
With all that's going on at Delicate Arch, it's easy to miss out on some of the elements and techniques that can make a great photograph. In this case, it's the lines that lead right to Delicate Arch that may be obvious now, but they're sure easy to miss when you're up there.
As night photography workshop instructors, we can easily go back to a location again after an event to shoot something for ourselves. But since our students expect great shots during the events, we make sure to help them to use a wide variety of different perspectives and techniques. Often the results can be amazing for our students - even those visiting Delicate Arch for the very first time!
How I Got The Shot
One of the challenges for this image was positioning the LED light panel and hand-held lights at just the right angle so they'd make the lines really stand out. This took a little trial and error and a little patience.
Then to get the best possible image quality, I captured a single long exposure and then shot 10 shorter exposures I planned to combine later on. In post-processing, I stacked the 10 shorter exposures and then aligned them manually since Photoshop's auto-align couldn't quite handle stacking all 10. Then I blended in the foreground and tweaked a bit from there.
