Hi Derek,

Thanks very much for the very kind words. This photo is one of a series of 3 taken and printed of Balanced Rock. This one at Sunset, the others being:

The image was taken the first evening of a workshop in Arches NP. I was unable to get to the tripods which were locked in a Pelican Case. The camera was loaded with Kodak Lumiere. The lighting was beautiful as the sun was setting with the clouds behind Balanced Rock and the Full Moon enshrouded in clouds. I was traveling with only 1 of my Leica R4SP cameras and a battery of Leica Lenses. The bulk of the shooting of the trip was to fall to my Linhof Technikardan 45S. I later found that the Leica R4SP focus (particularly infinity) was off. After having conversations with Leica USA while on the trip, I had my Dad Fedex my other Leica R4SP while I was in as I recall Zion NP. Rich
