I told the group we were heading to one place but as soon as I saw the sky, I made a quick left and then a rapid stop. I grabbed my camera and ran up the hill. When you see here what I saw, you can see why there’s a bumper sticker saying We Stop for Photos!
It’s all about drama, landscape photography that is. This kind of sky screams drama so to make the image, you just need a somewhat interesting foreground. The more interesting the foreground, the more the drama pops in the photograph. The rocks are tan and they were surrounded by yellow flowers, a great foreground. In fact, just a little too good which is why I went B&W. If I hadn’t, the foreground might have gotten more attention visually when I want you looking at the drama in the sky. You’re the photographer, it’s always your choice where the viewer’s attention is going to go.
