Balanced Rock Under the Stars

[hoffam19]

I went car camping down in Moab weekend before last. Camped out in Kane Creek Canyon thanks to a post about it I found on here somewhere I think. Spent a day hiking in Arches and a day hiking Canyonlands. I've always wanted to try shooting stars so I stuck around in Arches until the sunset and snapped a few photos. Here are a few of the best ones.

Thanks guys, glad you like them, and to answer oldno7, I used my BD gizmo and a 2AA stream light in the second two shots. The first one is headlights from a passing car. I really like how red the rocks turned out with the headlights. I was almost temped to go drive my truck around to the road behind the rocks and hike back around, but it was a little too cold for that.

Every shot arches under the full moon? It can produce amazing results.
