Yesterday, I made one of my trips to Antelope Island. I much prefer going in the autumn/winter when all the bugs are dead. The great salt flats are pretty barren but I like that. And yesterday a snow storm was sweeping in from the northwest and the clouds were on the move. I could literally see them clawing across the landscape so I was happy to be there. Shortly after I arrived and starting driving across the bridge I could see off in the distance what I call "light drama." I pulled off on the shoulder of the road to capture the moment.
We all do it. Honestly, I shot this with a Lumix 100-300mm and though she is light lens compared to the monsters I've held, she can be a bit...soft if you push her to the end of her focal range.. Only when I started to play with this image did I realize the potential. I sensed, because of the light, something was there. I like it and wanted to bring out the tonality, the light but I wanted it soft to match the mood of what I felt. Shadow mountains.
