The backside of Arch Rock at Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada at night



This is the rather generically-named Arch Rock between the two campground units at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada about 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas.  Bob believes that a better name for this arch could be Fire Arch.  We posted a couple of photos of this arch in an earlier post, but we visited it again in December 2017 during a winter break trip.  Unfortunately, too many people were abusing the arch by climbing on it, so now the park prohibits anyone from climbing anywhere near it.

This photo is of the side of the arch away from the road between the campground units and was taken at night by Bob with the settings of f/16, 30 seconds, and ISO 6400 with a zoom lens set at 100 mm on a full frame sensor Canon camera.  Rick used his military grade flashlight to "paint" the arch with light during the exposure.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
