Articles related to the Sony α 900 camera. Mostly panoramas taken with the camera and usually a ‘shaved’ version of the Sigma 10mm/f2.8 fisheye lens. ‘Shaved’ in this context means that I removed the metal sunshades of the lens with a saw. Now I have a 180° fisheye along the longer side of the sensor.
The Double Arch consists of two single arches which share a common end. The arches are near one of the parking lots in the park which can also be seen in the panorama.

The trail to the Upper Delicate Arch Viewpoint starts at the same parking lot as the trail to the Lower Viewpoint. But the trail to the upper viewpoint is steeper and longer. But in return the view of Delicate Arch is much more spectacular than from the lower viewpoint. Especially when you stand near the cliff of the canyon.

Mesa Arch at sunrise is the motif of desire for every photographer, who likes to take pictures of sunrises. As we stayed in Moab we had to get up by 4 am to reach the arch 45 minutes before sunrise. But even then there were already three other guys waiting for the sunrise. Of course they had already set up their tripods… Bad luck for the other five guys who even reached there after us. The panorama was taken approximately five minutes before sunrise.
