God's Light

Wow! Only one thing would have made it better.... being there.

You don't see light like that every day ... great job capturing it.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the compliment. This was one of those days that sunrise lighting didn't happen. I had been down to Balanced Rock and was disappointed. I drove around, and if I remember correctly, I took this rather aggressively cropped image was taken hand held from the Jeep (as I recall it was somewhat windy), with my Leica R7 and 70-210 zoom set near 210mm. I had tried several times in the past capturing Crepuscular rays or God Beams on slide film in Yellowstone with little success. They are very difficult to record on slides. I was lucky here in Arches, the image almost totally went to silhoute and approaches looking like a B&W.
