Yeah, mid week is the only time to hit these popular sites. I did single row panoramic, but I haven’t tried multi-row.

Its both the the upside and downside of interest in photography. As long as people are respectful of each other and the environment I don't mind, but it makes photographing such areas during the week all the more attractive. One way I got around the nutty nature of all the people was to take a multiple row panoramic. If done right you could include people for scale or exclude them for a straight view. The challenge for that approach is timing as the sunset lighting changes so rapidly. More and more places are turning into that kind of atmosphere.

I like your title "My Secret Spot" :) It is too bad that place has turned to that - I don't know why people have to be so loud. Thanks, Ron Yeah the warm light on red is sure amazing!

I like your title “My Secret Spot” :) It is too bad that place has turned to that – I don’t know why people have to be so loud.

Thanks,

Ron

It never ceases to amaze me how red the rock turns here with late light. I'm jealous of your alone time in this one location. Last time I was in Arches in 2004 I was blown away at how <a href="http://www.jmg-galleries.com/gallery/picture.php/315519681/" rel="nofollow">many people were waiting to photograph Delicate Arch at sunset</a>. There was no yelling, but it seemed I was attending a rock concert rather than photographing a classic landmark. It seems you made the most of the situation. Amazing lighting.

It's not like this kind of image hasn't been done before, yet this one seems fresh to me. Great image Ron, I like how the opening looks like an eye.

Very cool. Course, when you DO come home, it'll be colder than it is down there. Alaska is still your home, right? :) Cheers Carl Hey Ron,

I think most people in general aren't familiar with "icons" so they still have their place. What I wonder is who and where the "photographers" are coming from. I'm curious to know what percentage are the type that only brings the camera out while traveling versus the ones that shoot regularly regardless of how much name recognition the scene has.

The whole time we stood there, I expected hordes of people would begin to appear over the edge of the arch - I did get lucky! Thanks Gary - I figured it wouldn't take long for being taken to task over such an iconic location! It was still worth it! Thanks Mark! Hi John,

The light here just can't be beat. To have such a place all to yourself, I think you are speaking to most photographers dreams Ron. The light here just can’t be beat.

Never seen anything like this before. ;) Nice lighting. When I was there years ago, I was there with one other photographer. A nice quiet morning. Some casual chit-chat. All is well. Then the tourist bus showed up. Wow! Never seen anything like this before. ;)

You still got lucky. When I was last there at sunrise there were already dozens of people -- 2 busloads! -- in the arch. At no time during the good light was the arch free of people even long enough to get a shot without them. I definitely need to get back in the off-season (even if it's only relatively off). Amazing that people were fighting over photo spots on Delicate Arch. That is sad, indeed. Ha! You still got lucky.
