Arches NP
I spent the Thankgiving week travelling down to Arizona to visit relatives. Although technically not a photo trip, I did persuade the wife to let me plan the trip via some well known photo hotspots ;).

Having spent 2 hrs cleaning dust from my camera sensor, I finally processed a few images. Nothing to wow or unique here, but light was nice at sunrise, and Arches was mighty quiet!.

REPOSTED #1 image below, I wasn't quite happy with the pp, and Should of caught the distortion Todd pointed out!.

Turret Arch

Balanced rock.

That first one is a case study in when ultra-wide lenses are used for evil, not for good. The leaning rock formation is just too much. I also think I like the first version's pp better. But the other shots are excellent.

Thanks Todd. The 1st image was shot at 20mm, so you are probably right regarding the distortion!, guess I could fix it in PS.

Hopefully the distortion is now a little less obvious!.

I like the Turret arch image, some very nice light. I always like seeing images from Arches.
