Some times you just never know what a cloudy morning might bring you.
After waking at 4:30am (no alarm), I drove up to start shooting at this spot. While I was shooting here the light changed so rapidly the whole scene took on a different feeling every couple minutes.

The clouds lit up with this soft pink glow and it just bathed the entire basin in some of the most beautiful light I've ever seen.

Soon the lightning followed and I made my retreat to lower grounds.

the detail, color and crispness of this shot is just amazing, not to mention the subject. your postprocessing really makes the difference now!

Thanks for the feedback Matthias. I have really been focusing on refining my post-work this last year. So thank you for noticing.

Additionally, I learned some very important lessons on this last trip. I actually lost some shots from my best photo opportunity because I didn't adhere to best practices. So I am giving much more focus to my technique in the field. This has made a world of difference in the quality of the images that are coming out of the camera.
