Spent a nice morning shooting with fellow POTN member paul3221. This arch is just east of Phoenix, and the largest and most accessible in the area. Kind of unique to see an arch with Saguaro cactus:

Very nicely done. KUDOS to you.


Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.

I didn't end up going to Antelope. The forecast turned to Rain/Snow for Sunday and Monday. Hopefully soon though. My arch pics will be posted soon...

Thanks! I'd still be out there looking for the damned place if Paul hadn't came along. Look for his shots soon.

Good. When you do go, maybe a guy could ride along and help defray expenses ;).

well shot, great angles... that's a tough one, I know (been there)

Quite saturated, though, maybe trying to make it look like sandstone from Arches? ;)

All are good, but I like the first the best. I love the way the sun is just peering through the arch, it really draws my eyes in.
