(Go ahead....smash the L key)

Yesterday I met up with Mike Jones and we drove up to Wright's Lake for sunset. From the valley we could see the beautiful cloud formations stacked up over the sierras so our hopes were high. As the evening progressed the tall poofy clouds moved and the sky transformed into long streaky clouds. (That's the scientific name for them...they are also known as "swoopty-doo" clouds)

It was a nice sunset.

REALLY....NICE.

I took a ridiculous number of shots and after much deliberation I finally decided to process one of the last clicks of the day. It was pretty dark at this point so I wasn't able to bring up much shadow detail, but I kinda like the moody contrasty feel of it.

When I go out shooting I ALWAYS ask the Lord for an amazing light show. He always answers my prayers. Sometimes the answer is "no". Sometimes it's "wait". I think this time the answer was......."ok, this one's for Mikey"
