Arching over the Arch
How early do you have to arrive at the famously crowded Mesa Arch, in Canyonlands National Park, Utah, to beat the crowds? Preeeetty early. Even in the middle of a spring night our group wasn't alone, but there were few enough of us that we could take turns moving lights and headlamps around. It was fun to be here hours before the masses came and crowded around us.
Seeing @jarvie and @caseygrimley post pictures from recent nighttime adventures in the Moab area makes me nostalgic for the good times: our Stars & Cars trip three years ago was pretty epic!
This panorama was stitched from a series of 10-second exposures taken with the Nikon D750 and Rokinon 24mm f/1.4.
Great shot, nice composition

It's great how the milky way reflects the shape of the arch here. I have never taken photos of the milky way yet. Guess I should also give it a try sometime. Looks so surreal

Never! Wow! Is that your trick for being awake for sunrise: sleep? ;)
I think you'd enjoy trying it next time you have dark skies, though. It opens up a whole new world of composition. :)

No! Actually I'd never been here and didn't know the area well - and we arrived in the dark, so I didn't know what to expect, but this seemed like a natural composition to make, with the Milky Way low on the horizon like that. :)
