It was not a day for landscape photography, yet there we were, shooting in one of the most spectacular National Parks of them all. I committed early on to shooting abstracted impressions of the park’s features, since the only light was utterly flat due to leaden skies. I watched as visitors scrambled in and out of the huge arches that give the park its identity. If I exposed on such people, they became silhouettes, such as this lone figure, which seems to take one step forward while at the same time falling backwards. He or she gives new meaning to the phrase “treading lightly.” Using a 14mm wideangle focal length, I move in as close as I can on the figure while still including the entire massive sweep of the arch soaring overhead.
