Balanced Rock and the Milky Way

A 25 second exposure captures Balanced Rock in Arches N. P. with the Milky Way in the background. The illumination of Balanced Rock is assisted by the headlights of several cars departing the Park with their headlights hitting the rock as they crest over the hill behind where I am positioned.

About Artist

Jeff Beatty

Award-winning Arizona-based photographer passionate about capturing natures beauty locally in the Southwest, throughout the U.S. and in traveling to some of the world's most inspiring and intriguing locations. Whether it is a wildlife, nature, landscape or travel opportunity I find my ability to visualize the best overall composition of the image to complement the subject matter is my strong suit. Ultimately, this is only truly validated if I am able to convey to the individual viewing the image the same emotion I experienced when I clicked the shutter!
