I have probably photographed this arch more than any other over the last 18 years. I have lost count of how many angles I have and even different seasons....but the most photographers I have ever had there....was about 15.....this year there were over 100 people there! An entire bus of tourists actually arrived shortly after my group arrived.....with 35 from another tour....already there...elbow to elbow. I still couldn't resist when a spot opened up! This is not an HDR....but with all the layers.....it is close! A strip ND filter by Singh Ray and 2 split ND's were all stacked and moved during the exposure.
Canon 1D Mark lll with the 17-40mm leans at 17mm for 1.3 sec @f22 and ISO 100. Tripod mounted w/ Graf Studioball head.
I hope this image conveys why this arch is more popular than others!
