Moon over Delicate Arch by Steve Waterman

Steve Waterman took our Photo of the Day with a Nikon D800, using a Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 lens (at 24mm) • f/2.8 • 8 sec • ISO 1600. Light painting was done by Chris Bair at a September 2013 NightScape Workshop.

"Storm clouds were a challenge that night," says Steve. "We were waiting for the moon to set, to permit images of the Milky Way.  The challenge was getting sufficient exposure of Delicate Arch without the moon blowing out the picture."

Steve Waterman shares photography for fun and relaxation with his wife, Denise.  To support the photography hobby, he practices law, doing commercial litigation and reorganization with an international law firm. (The above photo was used on the firm's annual Christmas card.)
