Good Morning Arches

by Matthew Kadey

Many photographers left the "Windows" section of Arches disappointed this particular morning. A leaden sky did not produce much of a daybreak glow. But, just as I was walking back to the car the clouds became fragmented over Turret Arch. Another good example of how patience and photography are amigos.
Equipment: Canon 20D, 10-20mm, Polarizer

That is what I call creativity. everyone was after color and you took off at a tangent into the relm of black and white!! – darkened the sky with a polarizer ( incidently using the polarizer on a wide angle lense has darkened only the overhead portion of the sky, leaving the sky near the horizon, illuminated, which, in my view is helping the shot).
Lesson – Never give up on a situation

I agree with Anurag – you made the best of the situation. Many of us (myself included) have become enamored with color. Nice work.

Congratulations on POTD. I love mono work myself, and this shot is a great example of all the reasons why.

The shapes of the rock remind me of a gnarled, old elephant.

Looking at the negative space of the hole looks like a head on shot of an elephant. How fun to see how everyone sees things wonderfully different.

A good shot. I visited Arches np in May this year and I loved it. By far the most photogenic park in the Southwest, imo. I like the sky a lot.
