Marshall Pass Sunrise
I took this a couple of weeks ago, after a rainy night, the sun struggled to break through the morning clouds. Taken with 70-200f2.8
on a 1D-MkII.

Sa-weet! Really beautiful. Nice work!! :toast:

Where is Marshall Pass?

Scott, it's one pass south of Monarch Pass, dirt road instead of paved.

Don, this shot is a stunner! It has so much of a flow to it.

Wow, Don. You nailed the position of the clouds and sun. Great layers and depth. Wow again.

Don, this one is gorgeous. Great balance between shadow and light, but also as Todd mentioned, "flow".

Terrific, Craig

Hey Don, I just thought of something. Don't you owe me a royalty for using my clouds?

Very moody shot - I think it is great!

Gee, thanks everybody. All I did was click the shutter (oh, yeah, I put the camera on a tripod first).

Todd: You're right, the check is in the mail ! And thanks for letting me use them, I had to compress them a bit to make them fit in the back of the 4-runner, and they did leave my sleeping bag a bit damp, but when I opened the back door in the morning, they just flowed out beautifully. You have some very well trained clouds, I hope you'll let me borrow them again sometime!
