p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Pawnee Buttes in Strange Light

I went for a hike yesterday at Pawnee Buttes hoping for some thunder head photography. I wasn't lucky enough for that though as there was overcast and black skies surrounding the area on 3 sides. The weather made an already strange place even more strange looking with weird lighting.

Made for some interesting photos though.

Hi Andrew,

#4 is my favorite here. I like how the composition and light flow together. In #1, it looks like you used a ND grad on it with the peak being so dark compared to the rest of the shot. I like how the sun is bursting out through the clouds there, and the composition is top notch, so it would be my #2 pick if only the top of that hill wasn't so dark.

Hello Andrew my name is Harry Rogers and I have recently starting viewing photos from folks posted here and I came across yours this morning.

I work for a renewable energy company, RMT, and I beleive you have captured a really cool shot of our wind turbines we erected last year in shot #3. That is a really great looking shot....!!

I would be interested in speaking with you to obtain a copy. I can be reached by e-mail at [email protected]

Best Regards,

Harry

Thanks. Yeah, I used a grad filter. I actually processed that shot first with the butte lightened on top, but for some reason, I liked the "feel" of the photo better with the butte dark on the top. I might reprocess that and put it in this thread for a comparison.

Here are the last three shots of the set shot last weekend. I didn't know the initial post could only have 4 photos attached.
