Mountains for a Backdrop While at Salt Lake City Airport (SLC)

            For this image, I wanted that wide open sweep across the concrete tarmac, capturing not just the Delta gate equipment and people working here and there, but also that view of mountains off in the distance. The thing is that wide angle images tend to flatten out mountains the eyes see towering above. By slightly angling my SLR camera downward, I felt I was able to minimize that tendency and bring out a look from near to far at SLC. This was in the late afternoon shortly after landing on a flight from Austin.
