Very Large Array

As seen in "Contact," a movie I didn't actually watch until after I

visited the VLA.

dramatic and serene at the same time... natural beauty and synthetic technology mesh well in this shot... I really like it.

It has taken me awhile to get used to the idea of including something in the foreground when taking a picture of a beautiful sunset. Did you push E100VS ?

Why don't you include all 27 dishes if u were taking photo for the VLA? But anyway, this is a nice photo.

Steven: Didn't push the E100VS, just bracketed like hell.

 

Eric: I did take photos of all 27 dishes in the VLA. I have another in my portfolio here on photo.net that was shot down the axis of the array, but I think this sunset photo is much more powerful.

Interesting. a little too dark, perhaps ?

This scan is a little dark; I have yet to upload a more corrected copy that adds about 2/3 to 1 stop more exposure of the sky (keeps the silhouette though).
