Window of Opportunity - a photo on Flickriver

            I know it is an iconic image and grossly overdone... but it is a cool view and it does taste so much better to get your own shot.

This is a 5 image HDR to properly expose the contrasted scene and then adjusted in Lightroom to match the drama as witnessed. My daughter and I set up 45 minutes early perched on rock overhang waithing for the sun to drop below the storm clouds that had just moistened the rock, increasing the contrast and saturation. It was the first time I planned and executed a shot based on the vision I could see in my mind's eye. It turned out better than I imagined.
