Nice! What a great sky!

Really nice photo Richard. The sky is awesome. Is that one exposure or blended from multiple exposures? Do most people here blend exposures or is that taboo in the fine art circles?

I do it all the time shooting architecture and interiors. It's the only way to capture all the range of lighting.

Thanks Alice and Brian,

Just was just a grab shot from the side of the road as I was driving down to the coast earlier this week. When I came to a big, open field, I grabbed my gear, ran out and took a few exposures for the heck of it. Fun stuff.

Brian - one exposure from the camera, two exposures from a single RAW file.
