Super shot. The movement in the clouds adds up interest to the image.

Awesome shot, Fred! I love how you utilized the long exposure to capture the clouds moving.

Fred,
Good use of your modified filter holder on the 17mm TSE creating a really expansive capture. Terrific! Using the same lens without the filter, I would have to do an exposure bracket to get decent sky/salt flat frames.

Was your tilt angle close to maximal (camera lens 5" off the ground plane?). Belly to the deck!

Fred, awesome shot, love the contrast between the salt and the sky and the detail in both. I use my 24mm t&s and wish I could justify owning the 17mm. Great shot.

That is what this board is all about. I keep drooling at some work posted here and that motivates me to get my gear and hit the road.

Mike,
The 17mm TS-E filter adapter is a great tool and I use it all the time. It's well worth the extra effort putting it together. The best part, is that I can use the same filters on all my the lenses. I don't recall the tilt angle but was not 'belly to the deck' for this one.

Take care,
Fred

Great light and atmosphere Fred. A couple things and this is only personal taste is that the foreground seems too bright in comparison with the rest of the scene. The centered horizon is also something that I am not sure about. Since the fg is such a dominate feature maybe a little more of it to anchor the image better. Now it is a visual battle of fg vs sky. Both of which are great but both are fighting for the viewer's attention. Not necessarily a bad thing. Just my 2 pennies.

Thanks for the feedback Scott. The foreground color and luminosity are always a difficult decision for me when preparing images like this one. I usually have more color and less exposure on the foreground. For this one however, I was going for a different look. I will try your suggestions.
Fred

Fred, Awesome shot! But I agree with Scott. I would consider using the Adjustment Brush and boosting the Shadows and Exposure sliders a bit on the center section.

Best,
John

Great shot Fred. With both the foreground and the sky havings something equal to offer, placement of horizon in the middle works for me in this shot.

Beautiful. Elemental dawn colors from yellow to orange, set off by blues above and harsh gray textures below. Quite a capture, thanks for sharing.

I'm looking and learning from this one Fred, needless to say excellent work. In my eye I would be wary of having the sharp lower foreground and soft clouds but.... it works way better than I would have thought it would.

Great shot... the perspective and the contrast of the textures make it a great shot.
