Here's a shot I made in the Alabama Hills, a couple years ago.
The light during this storm was quite wonderful, with dark storm clouds in the near distance, and bright, harsh late-afternoon sunlight, where I stood. Combined with the geological formations in this landscape, it made for quite an ominous feel, and so I tried to capture this experience in this photo.
This was shot with a 1Ds Mark II camera and a 24-70 f/2.8 lens, set to 24mm. My exposure was 0.3 second, at f/22, at ISO 100.
This was a picture that I put aside for a long time, while I figured out how to process is, as desired. I wanted to make it black and white, and – well... I wanted to make it look as you see it here. I've recently been learning some more about post-processing, and learning how to use actions, so I could finally make this picture with the black and white treatment I wanted.
I hope you enjoy.
