God beams

I was driving along when I came around a corner on a mountain

road and saw this scene. I jumped out of the car, set up, and

shot three or four photos before the light changed completely.

This one was a keeper.

I know that the timing of these things is governed by the conditions rather than anything we can do, but would a polarizer have given a bit more contrast in the clouds?? Just a suggestion. Still a great image on its own. Well done on being ready enough to capture the moment.

Well, I don't think a polarizer would do it. Here's a thought. Try exposing the image for the dark part of the clouds. You'd get more contrast on that, as well as the mountain, but then the sky would be really overexposed. That could always be fixed in the print though by dodging that part of the print, right?

Beautiful.

Breathtaking - thanks for sharing
