Ship Rock - Long Exposure

[Bob Israel]

When I approached Shiprock the afternoon before these morning shots, the cloud cover made me wanting to get long exposures with the clouds streaking toward me. Of course, the sky was so blah (until that rainbow appeared) that no streaking would be possible. Fast forward to the next morning and we had the righ type of clouds. We moved to a position where they were coming right at us. These are the results.

So cool Bob! Long exposures with streaking clouds are so awesome. It takes the right clouds and the right angle, I am glad you got both in the morning. I think my favorite is the B&W. I do like the colors in the color version, but the B&W really adds some drama to it.

Sweet - just the right PoV for capturing this spectacle. Not sure I can call a favorite with these two versions as I like both of them.

 

[Bob Israel]

Thank you both. I posted both because I couldn't decide on a favorite either.
