Description

This picture was shot at sunset on a cold cloudy evening. There was this hole in the sky and the Sun just showed up for a few mintues and I managed to get this on film. The place is called Black Rock, on the shores of Great Salt Lake. Used Nikon F100, AF-S 17-35mm at 24mm, f/16, 4 Sec, 3-stop reverse ND Grad, Blue-N-Gold Polarizer on Velvia.

Thank you all for your very inspiring comments. The joy of Photography is both being out there (I love Landscapes) and receiving comments from fellow photographers. Landscapes interest me the most. Gary is right, I was there at the right time... you have no control over how Mother Nature presents herself but just wait for the right moment. I was there all alone.... #33298

I LOVE the colors in this and the lines in the sand are terrific. It is one thing to see such a breath-taking scene in person, but it is another thing yet to be able to capture it so beautifully. Thanks for sharing your talent! #33331
