Mesa Arch, a classic that never gets old...

Vieri · Mar 5, 2020

It appears that is now "fashionable" to tag any landscape photograph on Instagram as "Mesa Arch", with the intent of keeping the real location undisclosed - seeing that yesterday, while exploring Northumberland for a future Workshop, made me think about the "real" Mesa Arch, and I went to look in my archives for an image of the Arch to share.

Mesa Arch is such a unique location, and being there at sunrise to witness the arch glow with the first sun's light is a truly unforgettable experience! An old photo taken in 2016 with my then Pentax 645z, Pentax 28-45mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest filters.

Thank you for viewing, best regards

Yes, the 645Z is a great camera - too bad Pentax decided to kill the system by ignoring it and stopping any development. It had one of the best MF sensors out there, the very fact that Fuji & Hasselblad still use it in their current 50 Mp cameras (& PhaseOne) testifies about the quality of it

Best regards,
