Have you ever tried to take a photo of a vast landscape or a really tall mountain, and are disappointed because your picture is not nearly as impressive as how the scene looked in person? Size is often hard to capture in photographs. One way to help your viewers see how BIG something is, is to put a person in the composition to add scale. Here my grandson Owen is helping me show the size of this huge arch. Below is my favorite shot of this grand scene.

that is one big arch. great way to show the scale, teeny tiny little boy puts it in perspective. i like your favorite foto. beautiful
Fantastic photos! Good point about placing a person or object in the pic for scale. I do that myself. But now days there are so many manipulated pictures on the net it's hard to tell whats real or fake. Some people are really creative with it.

Your very handsome grandson does help show scale. Of course in this case so do the trees, but I know many of the arches that I have photographed don't have trees or bushes so the people are about your only option if you can get some in there. Your black and white in the bottom with the tweaked contrast is very dramatic.
Again a great photo.....
good work Karen.
Greetings, Joop
Karen, two wonderful shots. The B&W is quite dramatic! Mind you so is the colour! Adding a little scale to the first shot really does make a difference!
Looks big to me...beautiful shot(s).
Fantastic pictures. L like yor blog veru much. Many interesting thing to learn in your "Tech Talk".
Have a nice evening and a nice week.
What a landscape!
This time i liked the colored even better!
Spectacular shots! Yes, I also do that sometimes to show the size of my subjects.
Absolutely breathtaking!! Sorry I have not had time to visit lately, but I am trying to catch up. This is gorgeous - where was it taken? This reminds me of Ansel Adams.
This is huge!! Is it natural or man made? We live beside Natural Bridge, and I would say if this is natural, it is more awesome than Natural Bridge, certainly more stunning.
WOW! Karen, those are beautiful photos!
SouthernSass, this was on a short hike in Moab Utah, just outside Arches National Park.
Ginny, this arch, along with thousands of others in southern Utah, are all natural.
Oh wow - teeny boy - perfect example!! Love it!
Hi Karen the photo of your grandson is excellent can you tell me the focal length of the lens when you took this.
Hello Kaaren, What wonderful shots and photography tips here on your Blog. I'm enjoying scrolling through your posts. I also thank you for the meaningful personal comment on my Sadness post. It was much appreciated this day.
I love the one with little Owen under the arch.
I saw this, and my jaw dropped! That's all I can say!
Owen makes a GREAT marker! WOW, I love this photo. The colors are so vivid.
Great shots. I discovered that by accident when I was photographing huge pictures in an Art Gallery.
Wow! Now that is awesome, Karen, and great tip. Thank you again.
Wow!
The black and White one is really stunning!
Thanks for the beautiful photos !!!
