View thru Mesa Arch

A couple of friends and I go on a photo safari every fall, this year we chose Canyonlands National Park in Southern Utah. This arch is located there and is quite famous. It is actually quite a small one at only about 25 feet wide but due to the view through it it is very photographed. We were there about 2:00 in the afternoon so the light was not the best but it was all I had to work with. This is a 5 shot HDR with my 18-105 lens at 18mm without any filter. Shutter speeds were from 1/200 to 1/13 sec. ISO 100 and f16. LYLE

Another capture of the Utah State Capitol Building. I really like the way this leads your eye in with light rather than lines. The details are incredible in this building, it is so interesting and makes a great photo shoot. I had my tripod with me but for some reason I was not using it. This is a 5 shot HDR from the 3rd floor. LYLE
