Park Avenue under the light of a full moon
I think of this picture as a moment of celestial lagniappe. I had already had a great sunset/moonrise at the Windows, and then a crazy drive to Balanced Rock for a few shots in the pink glow. But when I saw the color on the walls of the Park Avenue, I had to stop, and the non-photographers in the car were not just willing, but excited, to take a moonlit walk. It doesn't get any better than that.
This shot has been whispering to me since I shot it back in April, but I didn't have the tools to finish it until last week. I tried out Noise Ninja, a new (to me) noise reduction filter, on this image. It worked completely as advertised. Now I'm running through my mental inventory of images, like a carpenter with a hammer looking for nails to pound. Only this will be a lot more fun.

Hello Ann! I just stumbled upon your image of Park Ave under the moon(via Google search for 'Park Ave Arches') . Over the past year I've become enthralled by night photography, and find Arches to be one of the best places to shoot. I spent a week there last spring doing night photography and am looking forward to my trip back there this spring.
This image you have of Park Ave is absolutely beautiful. I, like you, had not yet discovered noise ninja yet when I was there, and am looking forward to reprocessing some of my images to reduce noise.
You can take a look at some of my night images at https://www.shutterpoint.com/Photos-BrowseAlbum.cfm?album_id=9&user_id=SCOTTCARLIN
