Illuminated Hills
This is a tele version of the same amazing light in my previous post. This is looking into the atmopherics of the gorge. I was taken by the light how it was streaming into the gorge and the surrounding hills.

5D
70-200L IS + 3 stop hard grad
1/50, f/8, ISO 250

Zack,
It's a pleasant image...but it's not making me fall out of my seat. It almost seems flat to me.

It's a bit flat becuase I'm shooting through a lot of atmospherics, here is a version with some more contrast. This one's more of just a fun one, nothing I have too high of hopes for.

Zack,
This shot reminds me of one of my wife's shots when she was in Zimbabwe last summer. I have to tell you i like it.

That helps a little. It's not a bad shot or anything. The subtle palette would probably appeal to people/consumers/sheep/general public :wink:

Rick,
Are you calling me a sheep? Am I going to have to stick a cowpie on your face like I did when you were a kid? :cool:
