For the lack of a moon Sunday AM
This was taken in a secret location and I promised the owner(hint,God) I wouldn't reveal it.

Details: 1DMkII, 17-40mmf4L lens, warming polarizer, shutter release was right index finger with a 2sec delay after mirror lockup. Thinking out-of-the-box, I briefly thought of using my left index finger, but like all good athletes, I decided to stick to what I do in practice sessions.

I did try to contact Todd for rental of some decent clouds but the last minute timing details squashed those ideas. Even FedEx overnight was too slow for this situation.

LOL, pretty sweet. Too bad the Clouds you borrowed from Todd were the wrong ones! LOL Mine of this view didn't do as well. I rushed it.
