The clock in the camera is fine. When you replace a photo rather than deleting and posting new, it saves the older photos exif. I replaced the photo to save the comments. (maybe I shouldn't have) This shot was taken with a 6D not an FZ1000. I get out there around 6:15, there were 5 people there already. Sunrise was around 6:45, at some point there was a bus load of college kids from Pepperdine. (12-18 they were moving around a lot) I have to say a few words about these kids. They were respectful, polite, they didn't walk in front of you while you where shooting, they asked if they could jump in to get a shot. At one point they wanted to get up on the arch for a group shot, but before they did, they asked everyone there if it was ok. On my way out, a ton of people were walking in. I probably passed 40 people on the trail. dave.

Since that's a 5AM sunrise then your camera clock is 12 hours off. If I was familiar with the scene I'd know the direction orientation and be able to put it together that you were facing east. How many other people and photographers were out there with you? Paul

Oh if only this were a sunset. I was up at 5am to get out there to get this shot. dave

I really enjoy the subtlety of the red sunset on the underside of the arch. Paul

Thanks Jim. I'm hoping to get some sunrise shots at some time during the trip. davev

I like how the lower plants contrast with all the red rock. Jim
