Has anyone tried shooting the arches in Big South Fork? Ant tips if so?

Sandy,
Yes, I've shot a lot there. I try to avoid icon shots, so I do things like go wide up against the rock as in the attached jpeg. I had my right shoulder against the near leg of the arch shooting towards the other. I used a 110mm lens on a 4x5 camera, or about a 35mm lens on 35mm format. I did another shot up against the cliff at Laurel Snow falls I like too. Of course, you know that morning and evening light will help the sandstone.
I've also done a LOT of closer shots or intimate landscapes at the arches and other cliffs in the area. E-mail me at sahamleyATyahooDOTcomif you want jpegs since SENP will only let me post 1 a day.

I'm interesting in any suggestions for shooting in the park.
