This is a view with an extreme wide angle lens from beneath the Escalante Natural Bridge in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

Feature Image Details

• EOS R5 Mirrorless Camera
• Canon 11-24 F4.0 L lens
• F16 at 11 mm for 1/200th seconds ISO 1000

I scrambled up under the bridge for these images.

This view is possible only via panorama stitching or an extreme wide angle full-frame lens. The former is problematic with trees and wind and moving clouds. I used a higher ISO to stop movement in the leaves.

There are no restrictions and it is not a hard scramble. The lead image was towards the top. I was sliding and the footing was not at all stable. It was not dangerous per se but I was sliding, sitting down and not going fast until I found my footing.

Here is a second from the top. There is no danger of slipping once you get to the top.
