This is a panorama of Turret Arch in Arches National Park, Utah. There are 11 vertical images stitched together in Lightroom. The panorama was obtained and then the frame with the individual with the light was immediately obtained with the same parameters and this was used as the middle frame. Images were obtained at 20 mm, 20 sec., f/2.8, and ISO 8000. This is the "backside" of Turret Arch, and not the side you initially approach. As a result the arch looks "backwards" to what you usually see. The images had to be created from this side to capture the arching Milky Way over Turret Arch. The backside is actually the more interesting side, IMHO. There is a natural stone bridge or ramp that leads out of the back of the arch, elevated about 2-3 meters, and I am standing on this ramp. There is Low Level Lighting, LLL, with dimmed light LED light panels with warming filters. Thanks for taking the time to look.
