Landscape Bluffs looking across Valley of the Gods; Storm Clouds over Utah

The lighting was always something when it was partly cloudy - better than any huge softbox setup you'd ever see in a studio!

More crappy pictures from Marc JIM

I second that.

[Mallee Boy]

You two will end up in the corner shortly.

That vista from Moqee Dugway was awesome. Imagine that with a thunderstorm and lightning rolling across it.

Beautiful captures Marc.

That's right. Grant was the teachers pet alright!! Cheersa my friend. How is the new home coming? JIM

[Mallee Boy]

yeah right. Pest more likely.

Not far from seeing action Jim, all the approvals are done and apparently it is now a case of the materials being delivered and its away.
Hopeful for a completion in 10 -12 weeks.

Cheers mate.

Magnificent scenes Marc.
Thanks for sharing them.
Awe-inspiring.

Great shots Marc! Very powerful images.

Nice Marc - they're both nice, but that first one is an exemplary use of the ultra-wide angle lens... very immersive. The second shot shows one of the things I don't like about ultra-wides, the reduction in the prominence of a cliff or mountain. Of course it did let you get that beautiful sky...

These shots make me feel like I'm back at work for fire season ... Pinyon Pine, Juniper, and Sage Brush - that's the same fuel type I fight fires in (we just call it PJ - Pinyon / Juniper).

Nice...

I agree Grant that it was some impressive skies overhead. I'll second the vote for thunder and lightning, since it passed near us, not overhead!

It's an amazing view when you look out or when you are at the top/bottom of Moquee Dugway! Thank you Ash and I hope I can find some time for a few more.

Very true about the UWA lenses - sometimes it's incredible what they can pull off - it draws the viewer in! I do know what you mean and agree - must say that the cliffs were a good distance away and even at 12mm you didn't get the "full view" and the clouds were too good to not get in that shot. Thank you Josh!

Regards,
Marc
